As people have mentioned you need to keep on top of them, they don't like to sit. Our Bantam has just done a piston out of the blue annoyingly. Also due to age they ride nice but the sensation is like riding a wave which can take some getting used to, damping is very basic as you can imagine.
You would get a C15 cheap enough but these require love and time to keep them running well.
I have trailed C15s and they ride well. Power is nice and the noise is excellent. Below is a very nice one I have used in the past. I have ridden stock ones as well though.
It you want a reliable old trials bike consider getting a TY Mono or Twin. Super reliable and loads of parts. Prices are ok as well.
I always say this but if you want an older bike for minimal outlay buy and MZ TS or ETZ. Range of capacities, cheap, loads of cheap spares, Reliable, ride well etc etc etc.

Not sure why I do it to myself but thinking of buying an old BSA B44 or similar BSA trials style bike. I'd love a Triumph but the prices are just too much. The alternative is a modern dual sport. Has anyone here owned a BSA and can tell me it's a stupid idea?
I don't commute so bikes are just for fun, which is what I keep telling myself when thinking of reliability.
