Hi All. Many thanks for the welcome. I'm a new member from Lincolnshire, retired and just bought a 400NB which needs a bit of work to get it back to what it should be. Here's a pic of me with my first Super Dream (400N) that I bought new in 1978. It was Candy Tanzanight Blue and I loved it (photo has faded considerably over the years)! Before anyone asks, yes, I did used to ride in those heels (happy, carefree days they were  ) ![]()  There are a few things I may need a bit of help with on the NB, so I will be back on here quite frequently to tap into your wisdom, if I may be so presumptuous  . I am looking forward to speaking to you all soon. Al. |

Thanks Fungo. I've just noticed how little of the seat my backside takes-up. Must be making the seats smaller these days  |

I used to get the trouser leg caught on the foot-peg too sometimes. Blimey, it didn't half scare the c**p out of me when I was almost at a standstill, then realised I couldn't put my feet down. |

Thanks everyone for your kind welcome and comments. I will put some pics of the 'new' bike up in due course. Maybe some 'before and afters' when I make a bit of progress.

Yes, still living in the same place - different garage door and a few other changes though. I meant to do a recreation before I started taking bits off the NB, but forgot. Maybe I'll just throw it together quick for a photo when I get a minute. |
