Hi Andy! Great of you to join us... Now what sort of Nacelle? the late sort with shrouds or the early Divers helmet sort?? lol. I'm sure you'll get along fine with the build and fire away with questions as and when you feel fit.

Cheers! LJ.

Hello Andy,
Good to have you here.
My A10 grew from an old battered alloy Goldie tank and a humpy seat, although neither are on the bike now.
Cheers,
Iain

It could have been worse or, at least, more obscure. Your dad could have handed you an oil tank saddle washer and then said "build a bike around this."
