Any time I worry about spending too much on one of my resurrections (usually bought for $10-30, then add $100-250 putting it into the shape I want it in), all I need to do is go down to the local bike shop and start reading price tags.
Suddenly, $300.00 bicycles that look classic and ride well don't seem all that expensive.
