that's nice matt

Hey Guys,  Reading your comments is taking me down memory lane.  I lived in Redcliffe, Qld and visited the Maxxim shed on a regular basis - I even worked for them for a week over the school holidays with the manager and his girlfriend.  I helped them stencil t-shirts and number plates and put trophies together.  It was good fun and they were nice people.  I remember my payment was a proXL frame and forks - serial number MAX214.  I loved the bike and I can still remember some of the accessories - redline flight cranks, DK gooseneck, revcore hubs, arraya (??) rims.  I am not sure but I think they may have teamed up with another supplier to make their handlebars - I think it might have been "Fusion"?  Does anyone know the answer to this?  It's a brain strain - but I am pretty sure that they teamed up with Fusion.  I also raced the bike actively all around south-east Qld between the years of 1987 and 1991.  I think my mum may have kept my old racing Maxxim racing suit - I will have to check with her - but I sold the bike (silly me) in 1991 - got my car licence and all of a sudden bikes seemed too slow.  I would love to hear some comments back!
