With Ebay trade me etc over the last 10 yrs i have bought complete bikes to get a part and paid less than the local wrecker wanted for that one part ( witch had been on his shelf since 1978 ::)

Its a good time to be buying up that pre 90 stuff as its still relativley cheap out there :)

My sentiments exactly TM BILL & I have done the same thing in the past couple of years.

I think he has a finger problem - there's 2 too many '00's - should read $10.00 ;).
