Now for a short rant: seems like we don't see a lot of young people in this hobby...haven't for a while. I wonder if the pricing on things has maybe got a little out of hand, and makes trying to contemplate a project as financially un-achievable.

I think I forgot to take my meds last night.

I think $20 (Cdn) is an eminently reasonable price - I paid £5 (GBP) each for some several years ago (with good shock absorbers fitted), and inflation hasn't been bad enough to justify a 20x price hike for a couple of effectively junk (rusty and incomplete) examples.

You may well be correct on people being priced out of the hobby.

Best Regards,

Chris.
