Is building bikes easier now or back then?

I've stopped building and actually sold up apart from one. The reason was the scene changed and I believe it was promoted and advertising that brought in new collectors. I feel most of the new collectors didn't even ride bitd they just want a collection of bikes regardless of the cost. I go right back to when this site was blue and I can remember parts being in an abundance. I remember black tuffs were not easy to sell and I remember brand new in the box aeroreflex frames for ?40. The early days of the rad site was the best time for me I enjoyed it massively and have known some guys well over 10years now. The prices of stuff annoy me now as it's killed the fun of a build. I will admit I took advantage of the high prices when I sold up and I had no trouble selling. I do still have boxes of part with bits missing or actual spare bits. One day I might go through them and get hold of the missing bits like end caps or wheel nuts. Unrelated but I do have some terrible health issues that means I'm enjoying other hobbies while I can. I do actually own a new school retro bike, although it's not 1980s it looks oldshool and it rides great and was the same price as some no's mx1000s 😂😂😂
