There has to be a reason that you can get a CVA for $169.00! And it is not all in the fact there is cheap labor in Spain! No-one wonders about the quality of materials?

And really it doesn't matter if you want to buy a CVA - then you should do so.

I personally wonder how many CVA owners would really rather have something else but economics will not let it happen.

I have to admit my first inline ML was a CVA because it was on sale at Wal-Mart at a really good price so I could afford it. I could not afford a White - TC or a Knight at that time.

And yes I believe the quality of the CVA has improved over time - yes improved!
