Hi Davey Munroe, thanks for the welcome. It looks like forum members are to be found right across the country! I'm still working on getting hold of a bike, I'll post here when I am successful in finding a decent one.
All the best, Chrisb.

Slider, thanks for that, yes I hope I can get hold of a half decent bike around that price. The servicing and day-to-day fixing is fine by me, I'm looking forward to it. I'm just not sure I would fancy tackling a rebuild as an intro to CRM ownership. It's been a long time since I could be found ...

Thanks everyone, for all the good wishes, very much appreciated. To answer rhysdad I would consider spending around £1300 - £1500 and would hope to get a reasonable Mk3 for that. Is that a realistic budget?
Best wishes to all, Chris.

Hello from a new member on this forum. I haven't got a CRM yet but I'm working on it, and would be happy to hear from anyone with a decent bike for sale - especially if they aren't too far from West Sussex!

Best wishes to all,

Chris.
