Nice to see a Harding brought back to use.
I LOVE the history of the Harding cycle shops and it is a huge part of what has inspired me in this project. Knowing my bike came from such a relatively small, compared to full mass production, set of cycles makes me quite happy.
I want to keep that Harding legacy alive and running.
