Beautiful Custom Royal Enfields

Former Royal Enfield franchised dealer Bruce Maconochie has turned an interest in custom bikes into a full-time business. Last year he sold his family bike and car business (established 40 years) in Didcot, Oxfordshire, and set up BMCC (Bruce Maconochie Classic Custom) at Sutton Courtenay, Oxfordshire.

He and engineer Al Charlton are concentrating on creating Bobber-style Royal Enfield singles, but will also customise other machines. So far they have produced 12 Royal Enfield Bobbers, two of them sold to the Rockabilly fraternity. They also buy an sell, repair and service motorcycles.

“Interest is growing and it’s becoming harder to source bikes" says Maconochie, whose 500 RE Bobber, with hand-change, hard tail rear and electric speedo in the tank,  retails at about £8,500 depending on the cost of the donor bike. “We build the bikes to be ridden,” he emphasises.

Here's a 500 Classic E-Start Bobber, 2004, just 1300 miles covered- £3,495.
