Topic: Calling all Aussies - what happened to Hunwick Hallam and the X1?

[lordmoonpie]

I remember a bunch of Britten employees defecting over the water to Oz and working with Hunwick Hallam to produce the X1 prototype, a "wet dream" in carbon fibre. However that's about it! WHat happened to the company and the bike more importantly which was almost (not quite) as beautiful as the Britten. Any of you Cobbers out in the Bush know

The Who, and the What??

Can we interest you in the Irving-Vincent?

Someone called Drysdale? or something, made a prototype V8 bike (not a car engine).

Drysdale is pig ugly, Irving Vincent is nice but not radical enough, maybe BBQing is where it's at in Oz
