MAlvern Star Family
This bicycle is a combination of original and brand new parts from a 1974 Malvern Star Family. Featuring CHAMELEON PAINT, this bicycle has never been ridden since refurbishment and was very, very comfortable to ride before refurbishment. Will not dissapoint, the ultimate luxury bicycle. Suitable for cruising and riding long distances. Has been painstakingly restored to current condition, collectively the parts and time spent on this bicycle will not be returned to me. Must see to appreciate, inspections welcome, first to see will buy. PICKUP WEST END, BRISBANE
The rear wheel is THE ORIGINAL 22inch Malvern Star Family wheel. 22inch wheels cannot be bought at all, making this a collector's item. Please note that this is a USED wheel and tyre, but works fine. New tubes can be obtained on ebay from America without being too expensive, but tyres and wheels cannot be bought in stores.
However, you can find 22 inch tyres of medium condition fairly easily from used bicycles on ebay and from dumps. This is an original bike, new parts have been used only where it has been possible to buy replacement parts."
his is an honest restoration, with no chrome paint used to cover up the surface rust on the original 1974 parts unless i've sanded, rust converted undercoated and painted with the proper stuff. All the chrome is real, no chrome paint anywhere like some restorations. The front wheel has been given a sand and a polish and has come up fantastic. Note 8-ball valve caps, the front tyre is a whitewall tyre.."
No expense has been spared and this bike has been given many subtle touches. BRAND NEW ULTRA COMFORT, LOWRIDER BRAND plush leopord skin banana seat has been bolted using OVERSIZE BOLTS on a modified sissy bar to make for the ultimate reliable engineering. WINGNUTS have been used to make for EASY ADJUSTMENT and STYLE!!
NEW chain, NEW cranks and chainring, NEW cotter pins, NEW entire bottom bracket internals, cup and cone, and bearings, USED (can't buy new!!) 1977 dragster-style exercise bike pedals. NO EXPENSE SPARED
NEW cantilever arms heavy duty, NEW brake pads, NEW handlebar grips and STREAMERS, NEW bell in trigger-finger position (bang bang ding ding), USED and working TACHO from 1977 exercise bike, shows RPM and MPH. NO EXPENSE SPARED
METALLIC CHAMELEON PAINT!!!! This bike has been stripped back, undercoated, coated with chameleon paint, hand calligraphy painted "Rebekha" and then clear coated. Awesome unique paint that was custom mixed.
Please note that this bicycle is made up of ORIGINAL 1974 PARTS which have minor surface rust and the KICKBACK BRAKE at the back is NOT new but works fine. The reason for this is that the bike is original, and all the parts that CAN be replaced HAVE been replaced or refurbished with brand new parts. This bike will not disappoint, these are an EXTREMELY comfortable cruiser!!! Handles very well, very cool bike, this has taken a lot of time to make as a hobby and i made it for the satisfaction rather than for profit so no expense has been spared. I am a cert 3 bicycle mechanic and i'd like to see this go to someone who appreciates what the bike is!! Inspection welcome, first to see will buy. PICKUP WEST END, BRISBANE
