malvern star, the beginning.

the habbit started with an overpriced malvern star picked up off an old boy in thornlie. the front brake cable snapped as soon as i got it home and ever since then i've been learning how to fix pushies. i enjoy putting together bikes almost more than i enjoy riding them, the sense of accomplishment is addictive. after i built my first one, i wanted to do more - in different colours and different styles, so i did, and this page will show you a few of my bikes, my friends bikes & probably a few random bikes too.


this was my malvern star as it sat when i bought it. rusty, dilapidated and a bit rough. 10 gears of fury rolling on 27" wheels.


hawthorne green with white handpainted lugs.



finally it was given a set of 700c alex rims and i converted it to single speed.



that was the start. i'll show you more next time.
