Bike Mielec

How are people finding their Mielec's after riding them for a while? I got a quote back to repair my damage Ryctarski and it's rapidly looking not viable to have it repaired, was thinking of buying another polish frame to replace it. How much do they roughly cost and has Mielec become easier to deal with as I know early on some people has difficulties?

I like my mielec pretty much. Got the cheapest mash copy. I use it for daily commuting and touring, no problems. Got everything the way I ordered it. (except for the green colour I wanted).
It a little bit heavy but the weldings are nice and it's strong.
Would recommend if you are looking for something cheap.
