16. Greg Mathias and Kyle A. Huffman found Harry Leary’s display case at the National BMX Hall of Fame. Inside the case, we notice a miniature HLT frame and fork that Harry Leary used to have displayed on his nightstand - it was one of his only possessions he kept at his apartment. He got it from someone in Australia.
