Man, someone got a hell of a deal. My first one ran me $425 back in 2002. The replacement (2009) was like $560 and I had to sit on a waiting list for a good 7 months!
The old one-piece ones (like the one sold here) are awesome. They are all stainless, and had I not bent it in a crash, it would have lasted another 10 years. Still, 7 years of service is pretty good!
