I remember recently reading a write-up in a local mag about the Flink. VMX or Old Bike Australia? Was interesting the lateral thinking involved and it was designed from the backyard. I'll go searching...........bloody memory!

I'm fairly sure Jens Olsen rode for Flink back in his early days in Norway. He spent an hour telling me about how much a genius old Gustav was at Nepean one day which prompted me to check them out more. They were a really innovative bike for their day.
