I am very pleased to say I scored this bike. Yes the frame number is mid 30's and the block lettering is pre 1939. Original, clean and unmolested. Very collectible. Gotta be happy with that!mark field wrote:feelthewheel wrote:Very old Malvern Star for not much coin (at the moment) ... but wouldn't being 66167 put this in the mid-1930's? Warren, (as MS guru) do you have a view on this one?

Centurion which I'm sure has graced the Centurion appreciation thread at one point.
Pretty MS frame
Shogun starting low
Fakenalgo
Not vintage but gotta ask, what's up with the photo?

my guess is that its a catalogue photo (no pedals in pic) that has had the background edited in photoshop, and not very well done either.rangersac wrote: Not vintage but gotta ask, what's up with thephoto?

That's exactly like mine, a blue Centurion Equalizer... Its probably my Cen. that you've seen in the Cen. appreciation thread.rangersac wrote: Centurion which I'm sure has graced the Centurion appreciation thread at one point.
Bought mine new in 1993 & this is the first time I've ever seen another one just like it.

Crikey that's generous of you mark, i would have said it looks like a dog's breakfast. After the dog's eaten it! The seller's dreaming if they really reckon they'll get a grand for it.mark field wrote:my guess is that its a catalogue photo (no pedals in pic) that has had the background edited in photoshop, and not very well done either.rangersac wrote: Not vintage but gotta ask, what's up with thephoto?

downsized it to a thumbnail, then upsized it to get the pixelation thing going, then did multiple magic wand selections, then painted the selection with black, then cropped.
certainly not the image to capture your imagination, or one to get you clicking on the buy now button.
and his third image looks like a degraded version of this photo

A nice bike indeed , but sadly surplus to requirements at the moment. Took it for a 50km ride round the dirt back roads of Marion Bay a few days ago and enjoyed every moment of it.LugNut wrote: Nice Samurai with Shimano 600

Know what you're trying to say here, but no. Ally frame.rkelsen wrote:Is 24K gold hard enough to make a bike frame out of? I'd have thought it'd be too soft?
Might as well be made from real 24k tho', never getting ridden by a normal human. I mean, gold rotors and cassette?
Maybe it was the Sultan of Brunei's dunger?

when you read the entire listing description it quickly becomes less rediculous, as its reason for being made become obvious. its sale will go to a charity, i doubt it was made to be ridden. which is a good thing, and one things for sure- when it ends up on the hard rubbish pile, someone will be very lucky. it reminds me of the line Arnie says to the alien in Predator when he sees it without its face mask on for the first time- you know the oneMulger bill wrote:Know what you're trying to say here, but no.
