These things last forever, are built like tanks, are mainatainable and fixable by basic (though not metric) tools, and have been proven (and consequently cloned) across the world, and tolerate an almost complete lack of maintenance extremely well.
Mine is nearly 40 years old and at the moment it's my daily rider.
And the wheels on it are 60 years old
