Buy the best bike; in best condition

I wouldn't ride a 20 year old bike - in case the suspension crapped out mid corner or metal fatigue meant that some other critical part on the bike failed. Put it this way.. you wouldn't fly in a 20 year old Jumbo so why ride a bike that old?

actually, half of the jumbos you've flown on are more than 20 yrs old. they were first flown 1970. 1000 were manufactured before 1993, with less than 1500 made in total up to the present day. you do the math....

If you fly Air NZ domestically, chances are it's in a 25 year old airliner, soooo...

True.... but the makers plates is probably the only original part. Everything else has be refurbished or replaced. Definately not like your average 20 year old bike.
