They actually weren't all that bad my cousin had one in about 73-74 not as good as our other cousins bike though as he had a Carlton Clubman, This was the bike I used to borrow on a regular basis then ended up inheriting when his parents got a new car and relegated the bike to outside the garage cos it didn't fit in anymore ( I've still got the Carlton) I'd certainly spend £20 on one if only for its comparative rarity
