French rider in Australia

Published by: Dean Ryan at 2015-11-27

Dear Sir in 1930 Joseph Mauclair and Jean Bidot competed in Australia for a number of races.

Two bikes were made for them and I currently own the bike that was used by Joseph Mauclair. After the races the bikes were made available for sale. My late father purchased the Mauclair bike which he raced. The bike remained under our house until I became interested in bikes during the late 1960's I had the bike restored and painted in its original colors when ridden by Joseph Mauclaire. If his family or relatives are still alive I would like them to know his bike still remains.  If any one can help I will gladly send them some photos of that Speedwell bike.

Regards
