Cycling in the London area in the mid to late 50¹s, I would marvel at the curly stayed Hetchins that just blew by me and would bust a gut to catch up for a closer look. Viewing them today on CR and the Hetchins site, you would have to say that the Magnum Bonum top of the line models were rather outlandish. I wonder if Jack Denny got his inspiration from the wrought iron gates at Buckingham Palace? Imagine a gloss black Hetchins curly with gold leaf Magnum Bonum lugs! Before any of you Hetchins fans jump on me, It would be worth mortgaging the house to buy one.
