  • Rebuilding the NC30 with the help of my apprentice mechanics
    This has been a father & son's project and I've tried to encourage my boys to get involved and learn new skills, pick up the spanners and at the same time have some quality time together (anything to get them off their Xbox). I bought this bike as a lockdown project to keep me busy.

    Each movement was snappy, and I was impressed to see it.
    From the explanation, I was able to confirm that my father's education policy was wonderful.
