Does any one know anything about Flash Cycles,

They were a West Australian Bicycle maker based in Mt Lawley in .....?



ps have already googled it myself

Are they still around?

I remember seeing them yonks ago, trying to sell some rather strange recumbent/ cruiser/ oddball machinery they'd built "in-house". Although I'd never ridden any of them, they didn't look particularly "flash", especially as this was about the time that people began to take 'bents seriously and were putting out some top gear.

I can't recall exactly where they were situated but I do recall seeing the shop relatively often. Perhaps they were out at Guildford?

I found a couple of listings


FLASH CYCLES
WESTERN AUSTRALIA, WA 6056 PERTH-MIDVALE, UNIT 2, 44 FARRALL ROAD**

bicycles, bicycle, accessories, accessory, retail, rental, repairs, repair


and the other one

Flash * Eddy Barron Flash Cycles 402 Beaufort St Mt LAwley & Midland WA


** which probably explains why I recall seeing it, because I go to a video store in Farrall Road.

I don't think they are still operating and haven't for many years, I might be able to get my hands on one, an antique in working order and was wondering if anyone knew what they were worth and any sort of history on them

The second address I found was from the Australian Bicycle History Centre

Perhaps they may be able to assist you.

i answered a similar post about Flash a few months ago, try a search on this forum, I had achat with the proprietor of Guildford Cycles about Flash around that time, he might be able to answer your questions.
