That's some scary price for a fifty year old Malvern Star!

<runs to nearest hard-rubbish-day suburb with fingers crossed>

At least it's a bike.. the prices some people pay for wine
bottles dredged from the bottom of the ocean is scary!

Damn... now people know why I did my open water course. Where'd I put
that chainsaw? Gotta get rid of the evidence, y'know...

And it's just the frameset.

Maybe one of the tubes looks like ET or the virgin Mary?

I had a look at a 1992 Bicycle Buyers Guide for Austarlia. And the
most expensive bike available was the 1992 "Oppy Special" Malvern
Startat just under $ 4,000 !! Well, it DID feature the new Dura-Ace
STI levers:

"Change gears without having to take your hands off the breaks" was the
pitch

Nice looking bike.

Didn't someone around here find a five-star on the nature strip not so
long ago?

That would be this one:

It's ***MINE*** <insert maniacal laughter>.

<grin>

Only difficulty is that restoring it is sending me broke.

Back in the '50s most track racers would have put in their training miles on
the road, riding to work etc. Road rules required a white painted rear
mudguard, and the standard road kit was more likely to include guards.

That was also a standard thing with lots of bikes. My old Barry Waddell 24"
in 1967 had one. It had a cap to close it off, and was a lube hole for the
BB.

My 1980 road bike has pin striping and lug outlining, with my name on the
top tube and Cecil Walker on the down tube. All hand painted. A shame the
one old guy who did this passed away in the late 80s and no-one does this
now. If I get the bike resprayed I lose all that pin striping :-(
