hi all, just to educate Andrew VMX My Nicoll bike is 100 percent complete and genuine. The bike came direct from kurt who was given it by KMHI in 1988 for winning the british title and finishing 2nd in the world to little eric. Not all factory parts are good, just ask kurt, they junked the factory rear hub and used a production item laced to a factory rim same goes with the rear shock, that was ditched in favour of a ohlins unit . I have started the bike and ridden it around a flat field and cant believe how quiet it is. The front forks are unbelievably smooth action. I still pinch myself whenever i look at the bike in my living room.
