  • If Henry Cole is the guy on ITV 4, then yes.

    It's pretty awesome tbh. I'm not into motorcycles, but I drop by a few times a week just to do bits to my bicycles.

    I've powder-coated some forks, polished a set of hubs, and I paid to have a welding lesson, which was actually a huge amount of fun and far more rewarding than I was expecting!

    I've known Bob (owner) since I was about 19/20, a very good friend of mine!

    Worth mentioning that if anyone were to take a trip to there, he's awesome and will greet anyone with a hot drink and a chat! The workshop is based in Hinkley.

    I was only chatting to the wife the other day about wanting to learn to weld. Took a look at the site earlier and was tempted by the MIG session. Interested in welding box steel for some home furniture.

    It's not that much of a trek to Hinkley from Cambridge so I might consider booking something in the new year.

  • Give it a go! :)

    Tempted to chat to Bob to see if he could get someone up there teaching frame building.

    Bob used to be head of the metal fab shop at a motorcycle manufacturer, he knows his stuff.

    He's literally got everything you'd need to make a frame there, other than a jig and the pipes!
