A key factor for me, in the UK, was also that I could purchase one for $30-40
Right. So are the folks that are buying them on eBay for USD$200 out of their minds? I mean, by the time you upgrade the rims, hubs, fork, bars, seat, etc. etc., you could have bought a pretty decent modern bike. So if you are buying one at that price, aren't you just paying for the rebel image?
