I have a 1950′s era bicycle, which would be almost identical to the ones they are racing in the above photos, but I found out that the fork steerer was cracked and warped. So, the wheels and other parts I had collected for it have been sold. I’ll do it up again one day – perhaps when I finish university, have an income and can afford to pay a frame repairer.

By the way I looked for the images above in the State Library and they identify them as 1930s not 1934 specifically. Does someone have extra information about the date of the photos?

It is easy enough to find the results in the Sydney Morning Herald or the Telegraph of that era if you have access to eg the State Library which has the old issues of newspapers on microfilm

I have looked at those for some years when my father and uncle were riding and have those results. My uncle never was highly placed but he won a number of medallions over the years which I now have; I have images of them if they are of interest. Dad won a cup for his efforts in 1934. I would like to know if this was the only year he raced but that sort of information seems impossible to find.
