As the title says....

Looking for a New Zealander called Kevin Simms. We used to ride together in the late 80's early 90's. He used to work for East Kent Packers in Faversham and lived in Canterbury along the Wincheap road. He lived for MTBing. He moved back to NZ early 90's but after a short while we lost contact.

Back in the day he had the trickest bike...Pace carbon forks with Magura hydraulic rim brakes which totally blew us away! And a suspension seatpost....! We used to ride around Clowes, Thornden and Perry woods.

He must be late 30's early 40's??? and must still be riding as he lived for it like no-one else I've known.

Long shot I know, but you never know.

    Probably a silly question, but did you already try on NZ biking sites?
