What do YOU prefer? Would you rather choose for a spanky new shiny rebuild bike or an oldschool bike with here and there some tiny spots but in overall looks quite good?

Cheers.

I like a wrecker, i feel so much better to know I have saved one.

besides, NOS builds cost money, restorations, they are for the love of it.

I prefer a wrecker, less money to improve, basicaly a blank canvas that you can have fun with and ultimately use at the end of the day without to much worry.

Rather have a wrecker myself as I like to restore the finish.  But maybe just once a NOS chrome JMC/GHP etc would be very nice.

Exactly Sander, just once I would like completely NOS, but I am too tight to pay the £$£$£$£$£$.  ;)
