Purchase of the century
Posted by Ben on | February 24, 2006
My friend Hamish just purchased a beautiful old Malvern Star bicycle on ebay for $20.80.
In Australia in the 1950-60s Malvern Star bicycles were the bike to ride on the race track. Nowadays any vintage Malvern Star in good condition is worth quite a bit. Certainly more than $20.80.
I am jealous.

whooa I had no idea! It doesn’t seem very racy to me though, more of a sauntering kind of bike, and ity’s pretty damn heavy. I’d also forgotten just how bad brakes are on steel rims in the wet. Scary!
