Sydney bicycle manufacturers and importers, 1885-1932

[Saro28]

Hi John

I've found another supplier/manufacturer not listed, Universal bicycles listed in a 1911 Horden and Sons catalogue. Listed as built with BSA parts and built in the Horden factory. Also lists one as used by Francis Birtles overland cyclist. I'd post some images but can't work out how, any hints?

In my view this thread represents an invaluable resource & should be pinned.
After a little while all superfluous posts [including this one] should be removed & the topic locked.

How about it mods?

+1 Definitely needs to sticky'd. Be a shame to see this sort of info drift down the heirachy. (preferebly sticky'd without comments like mine as well)

Hi John, there are a lot of bicycle manufacturers there!
My uncle started SJH bikes, so if ever you are researching more into this manufacturer, you could chat to me! Also I would love to gather the history as well if anyone has knowledge, photos etc. i have found the threads in the retro forum on SJH bikes. Best regards, Annieb

John j Just stumbled across you site. You have listed my great grandfathers (Forest Finlay) Sydney Cycle shops thankyou. I have limited family information photos etc and some advertisements from the time .In the period 1903 to 1908 he manufactured cycles but also in the later period motorcycles under his name. I would be interested in any information relating to either and if anyone knows if any still exist or who to ask.

Hello,
I am also related to Forest and have some information if you would like to contact me.
