Interview with Eric Hendren (Hoffy Cycles) & Darrell McCulloch

[gbannerman]

I was very fortunate to be able to have a chat with Eric Hendren and Darrell McCulloch about their experiences working at Hoffy Cycles, Sandgate, Brisbane. I particularly like at the end where Darrell finds his first race bike listed in Eric's old account ledger. Video of the interview here (http://vimeo.com/18295407).

Great stories from a bygone era...

Thank you for sharing...

Sweet, will have to have a listen later.

I've actually got a Hoffy track frame in my room waiting to be built up, actually should have asked him in the interview if my Hoffy track frame is real or just some random old frame with Hoffy stickers... :)

If you have the serial number under the bottom bracket (and the bike's built in the 1970s) I can look it up in the register for you.

[Purt]

No serial number to be seen, it seems to have had a pretty thick re-coat in its time though, so it could be under there somewhere. Thanks anyway.
