However getting 3 bikes for the rough price of a busted single bike seemed like an 'investment' though no return on time spent as per usual...


So its just a personal hobby/pastime when the mind drifts in that direction.


I'm guessing the CT90 situation in the USA would be worse...Though I believe the C90 Cub scene in the UK is even worse somehow...
Here in CA we're very fortunate that the only rusty bikes are the ones that sat next to backyard sheds for decades. It's generally dry. A good, clean-ish CT90 runner is around 2000.00+ USD in my market. Winter has dropped prices a little but I'm sure that's temporary.
