Hi Chris its great to know someone else might be joining in the fun with us, I do use mine to go to work on sometimes, its about 1 and 1/2 miles to my work, i go home for lunch and back again. I have been using mine for about a year now and the problem i have had is replaccing the chain, so not bad for nearly 25 years old. The best advise i would give anyone is once you get a c5 strip it down, clean it all up, paint or powder coat frame and replace bearings, tyres and bits and pieces as required, get Martin to give the electrics and once over and fit a c5 alive wiring kit fit some new decals ( see Andy's project ) and join in some runs aswell, hope to see you soon.
Retro Andy.
