⭐️Star Struck⭐️

👏🏻👏🏻SOLD👏🏻👏🏻

c1943 made in Melbourne. Time to move this old classic on. A two✌🏼star ⭐️⭐️ Malvern Star which has had detailed paint work done on the frame and rims. My intention was to replace the rear rusty hub and the stem to a more original one. For an 80 year old single speed bike she does ride beautifully. Although in reality I think this bike would be best suited as a display in a cafe hanging from the ceiling or bicycle shop of sorts.
If any interest just pop me a message.

👨🏻‍🎓University Flier🚴🏻‍♂️

This beauty is moving to good ol’ Collingwood. A fast flying 12 speed this bike will surely get the sleepyhead student to Uni on time. Completely dismantled and fully rebuilt and reusing all of its components this one rides unbelievably smooth and responsively. Carrying its old labels and scratches and beautiful lug work, the bike is an Australian classic. ‘Blucher’ by Mascot Cycles.

‘The Bullet’

What an amazing find!
I bought this beautiful vintage bicycle headlight not knowing if it worked. Well! 😳
Guessing it’s from the 1950s, I can’t believe the quality of this old light.
Made in England.
This light in itself will be an amazing feature on one of my next rebuilds.

🌵Tequila 🌵

This old steel Hattori was made in Japan around 1980. Powder coated in a coffee cream colour and matched with browns, the bike looks and rides beautifully. It was originally a 14 speed racer and I have converted it to be what it is today. This ‘social traveller’ is a neat and tidy 3 speed for the little visiting sneaky drink or for commuting. The 27 inch wheels were salvaged from a another old bike as well as the gear selector and are unbelievably 50 years old. I tried to clean as much rust off these rims and looking closely at the rear hub you can see some spotted marks which I couldn’t remove. Overall the rims are in great condition for their age. Most of the parts have been reused and naturally carry blemishes and scratches. New parts are the brake levers, crankset and pedals. The cables and tyres are also new which would be included in any normal servicing.
Many thanks to Daniel for his welding skills on making the flask holder..👏👏👏 And to Kim for the flask find. Beautiful 🤎
Another enjoyable rebuild.

A homemade 5 star Malvern Star. Not sure of when the two frames were welded together but it was a great find by its current owners. The combined frames have to be more than 60 years old. With its dings in parts of the frame and some untidy welding this bike holds strong.
This was an enjoyable rebuild…

🇫🇷Ooh La La🇫🇷

This has to be my favourite rebuild yet. The rear wheel was the first part I had salvaged and the rest of the parts and pieces fell into place. I wanted to turn this next build into a 3 speed city commuter/runaround bike.
The frame was made by Liberia Cycles in Grenoble, France and it’s an early 1970s model. The old Dia Comp brakes, Sturmy Archer gear shifter and rear hub and rims are in amazing condition and from the 1970s also. Although 80% of the bike is second hand, I had to replace some parts with new. Crank set, brake levers and handlebars are new. The rest is all reclaimed. It is unbelievable how comfortable and smooth this one rides. From nothing to pieces of parts and now combined as one,
I feel this one is a piece of art.
