If you had 0, which classic bike would you choose to buy? We picked three for 0 (each, not altogether!) and discussed their pros, cons and colour schemes, and there's the rest of the magazine, too

* Velocette MAC: Rowena rides a 1969 rigid 350 single (and doesn't drop it or break it. Miracle), and explores how the MAC became Velocette's best-selling model
* BSA trials twin: a really special mucky monster from Odgie which combines bits of Bantam with a Sunbeam scooter engine - and, because Odg is really bloody ace at building specials, it looks like it rolled out of a works competition shop. Cor
* Triumph T140 / Sunbeam S8 / Norton ES2: our three for 0. It's one of those stories which demonstrates the variety of classic bikes you can buy on a fairly typical budget, and what you should look for when you're browsing
* Ariel History: Steve Wilson examines the story of the House of the Horse, because he's become a bit fascinated by the breed since buying an NH350
* Norton Commando: the show-winning one wot caused all the controversy - and it still hasn't turned a wheel in anger
* Triumph 21 Rebuild: a new series starts as we strip a 350 twin
* Meeting MZ Men: Graham Ham and Daisy join up with the MZ Club
* Touring by MZ: and Phil Speakman roams abroad aboard a 250 tourer
* Thrill Seeking: Ozboy meets a unusual lady with a Vin and a very tidy Adventurer

PLUS:
Electrical info on Lucas regulators and zener diodes; top shed tools and what RCers recommend; the Wooler beam-engined bike; what the motorcycle owes to its unpowered counterpart; and why fitting an AMC sidestand ain't as easy as it sounds. (Oh, and there's a diagram missing from the electrical feature which will be printed in RC25. Sorry
