Hi LG,LG wrote:Tassie being Tassie, I met the former owner of this bike today. I can now confirm it was originally a Hillman Alpine purchased in Melbourne in 1985. The owner still has another which looks exactly like the before picture. I might see if I can locate some Hillman decals for my re-furbished bike.
I think I found a match for your Hillman Alpine. A Panasonic, on eBay in Madison, Wisconsin.

The pictures on the link will not last long as the sale is over. you may need to click on "See Original Listing."
Serial number on the head tube lug which is normal for Panasonic in the 1980s.

Found the frame on a council clean up.
Seemed reasonable quality with nice lugs, had it powder coated added 2nd hand forks and other bits and pieces.
Rides very nice
Shouldn’t criticise your choice of colour as I have somehow ended up with a few blue bikes myself.
But looks too much like “NSW State of Origin Blue” for my tastes. Would prefer if you had of resurrected it’s original “maroon” colour
