There is a 1973 CZ 175 Enduro not far from me, for sale and not in bad shape.  Is it worth picking up?? and hows the availability for parts??? thx

If it's the CZ 175 Enduro I'm thinking of, the word "enduro" is pretty much a misnomer for this bike.  More like a street bike with a high fender.  Kicker and shifter were a single common lever that pivoted up to kick and back down to shift.  Grim suspension.  Nerdy milquetoast relative to the CZ motocrossers of the era.
The CZ 250 Enduro is a better bike, last year's motocross bike in enduro clothing.

Well said, Jeff. The CZ 175 "Enduro" is quite the opposite: better suited for street than trail. Probably best to steer clear of this one, unless it's a steal or in mint condition, most likely CZs least desirable offering.
