Hi P!N20, I know you've seen this bike before but it is one that I am very proud to own. It's an Aussie built Hillman. In fact it was built by Gordon Hill in 1984 and it's just a fun bike to ride. I have enjoyed the quick lap around the velodrome on this bike but its usual job (for me) was as a commuter. In my old age it's a fun ride around my home town. I always loved commuting on old track bikes over many years and this was my last track bike to perform commuting duties although I come by it in my latter years of commuting. Over the years I have also owned a number of Hillman's both road and track. This is my last one.

Hillman's has a long and extensive history with the cream of Australian cyclists riding within the highest ranks of world cycling. I feel so blessed to still have one of Gordon's frames. Gordon, by the way, is still building frames so I believe.

This frame was made in 1984 from Reynolds 531 by Gordon Hill. It is 61.5 x 61.5 c to c. I like the 'H' milled into the fork crown. It's just a well built frame. The components are a mix of economical (Sugino/SR/Sunshine) but great quality bits and pieces. A couple of years ago I changed the stem to this Nitto dropped stem as it has 'the' look and teamed up with an Aussie made bar. The saddle is a 'plastic' Cinelli Unicanitor of course.
