I've been putting a lot of miles on this bike lately. The first geared bike I've had for about 25 years.

Rode this one today, as it's my birthday, and the bike was a birthday present from my wife many years ago. LIke us all, it's evolved a bit over the years

Loose cotter pin?

Hi Scott, This bike looks great! Just wondering how you added the rear disc. Is it a bolt on adapter?

Thanks kingfish254. Captain Awesome sorted it out. I'm back as bean :).

All sorted Captain Awesome. Thank you!

Hi all, I'm a long time member, and my user name was bean. I've been MIA for a number of years and have recently started playing around with bikes again. After moving, changing internet providers and forgetting my old password, I had to create another account. Don't know if it's possible for a...

Missed out on the deadline :arghh:. Been flat out for a while now, but managed to get the bike finished, and had planned on taking pics on Sunday (the only time I had free this week). The bike is stored 30 miles away, and was going to pick it up, have a ride and take some pics at a local MTB...

With less than a week to go, I won't get any time to paint the bars or strip it back and clean too much, so I'll just have to chuck in a bit of grease and take some pics. All good though, sometimes the important stuff has to come first :)

I'd better!!......Time's a runnin' out :eek:

I threw some parts onto the frame today for a look. Pretty happy with it, just have pull it down again and clean and grease everything, paint the stem and bars and put it back together.

I got the fork painted. It was pretty rusty and the chrome was flaking, so took a lot of sanding. I painted it with rattlecan Kilrust, an epoxy rust preventative paint we get in Australia. The pic isn't the best, but it came out very well, and has been hanging in the sun hardening for a few...

Thanks OddJob. this one is just throwing parts on a frame. I think it'll come out looking OK.

Thanks Brian. I am doing well, and hope you are as well. Still working my butt off working full time, playing gigs and renovating. Our house that we moved out of a few years ago is just finished and ready for the market though. I can start to take it easy again when it's sold, and do some more...

My frame is a Malvern Star Cruisestar, and it has cool stars in the dropouts. It's Klunkerish, so Klunkstar is the name I chose.

I had a couple of hours today, so managed to get a couple of things done. I bought a pair of 2.4 Maxxis Holy Rollers from my LBS and fitted them to the wheels.....they look nice and fat on the DoubleWide rims :). Also pulled down the frame from the rafters and gave it a quick wipe over and...

Dug out some parts. I only get to my storage shed once a week, so grabbed a few things today. I have to sand and paint the fork, strip the tires off the wheels and clean them up, and sand and paint the bars and stem. Given the small amount of spare time I have, work on this build will be...

Time for another bump :)

Shamrock was one of my favorite bikes on here. Ever. I even bought a set of those Nitto bars after seeing it.

Why not!! I've been pretty much absent from here for the past couple of years except for the occasional lurk to see what's happening. I'm starting with a Malvern Star Cruisestar frame I've had for around 10 years. The frame is currently hanging from rafters in my storage shed and has been for...
