It's not a debate out of which one is better he only asked what vee to get. Yes both maggie and vee have good and bad points, in my opinion it all comes down to rider preference. And as it is only a bird then he might as-well stay with a vee, unless they come with 4-bolt mounts? What part of the vee did you brake? Then have a look on tartybikes and see what you like. Also as i'm guessing this guy is a beginner? then he wont need top notch parts.
