I get that all the time on my Betty Foy that's a little over a year old. Ok, she does have almost 5000 miles on her and some beausage but most people are referring to the style not the condition. I don't mind because I don't want anyone to think about stealing her and I like that it's not as well known so maybe they'll think it's not worth stealing - less resell. It helps there are a few other old bikes that look similar to mine and really are old.
