Gomshall Hi-Lo Mini Racer - Tony Chamings

[mab01uk]

TKC Magazine July/Aug has a new article on the 1975 Gomshall Mini Racer built by the late Tony Chamings designer of Hi-Lo suspension.
Terry Grimwood who some may remember as editor and writer for CCC magazine in the 1970's also helped to research this feature for TKC mag.
