The origin of Custom Coaches can be traced to 1911 when Stanley James Hillsdon joined his brother Walter Hillsdon in Hillsdon Bros, builders of racing bicycles. At this time Stanley Hillsdon competed in bicycle racing, finishing third in the 1921 Goulburn to Sydney race. Hillsdon Bros became a leader in manufacturing high-speed bicycles and they were a strong favourite amongst professional cyclists, including Ken Ross who took first place in the 1926 Professional Goulburn to Sydney race. By 1927, Walter had left in order to concentrate on a car sales business, leaving Stanley working with bicycles.
