It doesn't really take that much time, and you get faster with experience. Once you invest in a few tools (BB tools and a few other esoteric items) the cost is mostly in new tyres/tubes and cables (the cables in particular always seem to need replacing). Really grotty bikes can take some time to clean up, but it's a great deal of fun when you find one that is virtually perfect under the grunge and clean it up. That can be profitable, too--or at least keep you going.
