Any Old Bike Buffs out there?
I have three Malvern Star's.
1. A pre-war fixie on 28 inch wheels.
2. A fifties single-gear freewheel, 27 inch.
3. A Moscow '80, 27 inch wheels, with the early 6-speed freehub.
And an old 3-Star frame. I need a 27 X 1 1/4 " rim, 40 holes, steel or alloy, to lace up an old double-sided Airlite track hub. Anyone have a spare in fair or good condition?
Noticed lately the return of 27 " tyres to some shops. Cheap at $18 each. 'Vee Rubber' brand, made in Thailand. A copy of the faithful Michelin World Tour, at half the price. The larger section tyre gives a more comfortable ride. 85 psi.
Also noticed there's a gentleman in W.A. selling new frame transfers for Malvern Star's. On the ctuc site.
