  • 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.

    Since it appeared in the recommended video, if you start watching it casually, it is not adults but young people who are maintaining it! ??
    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.
    Thank you for publishing a very nice video.

      @@MarkReynoldsRestorations Thank you for answering to the comment :) I had one back in 99 but didn't know it was such a good bike :( Should've kept it

    fantastic result, this is an '88 or '89 right? Great seeing the lads working, good on you for handing one a speed wrench over the impact driver, need to learn the "feel" for bolting into aluminum.

      It's actually a 92. Wrong colours for the year I know but for me it had to be those colours. Yeah the boys need to learn the correct way first. Build up to the power tools.
