Wow, very cool.

Shaking my head about the Repco Preset, maybe i should sell mine, given it still has both brakes AND drop bars i might get enough to buy 2 new ones :D .

Well, it wouldn't apply to a monster like that but on a serious touring bike the underslung cage was where you kept the meths bottle for the Triangia cooker :)

Perhaps it's for a different kind of meth? That might explain the madness...

Non original paint, no decals, looks like the drive side rear dropout has been hit with an angle grinder, but it is a 5 star Malvern Star. Monetary value is a very subjective thing.

Dunno about the grinder bit. Derailleur hangers are not often found on Aussie made frames from that period.

But yeah, value is certainly subjective. I'm surprised it went so cheaply, given the crazy money I've seen these things fetch in the past. Also agree that the paintjob devalues it significantly.

The grinder mark looks pretty obvious, you can see where the cut is not parallel to the dropout. It should look something like the one in this link

Sorry, I missed the close-up photo of the dropout. It definitely has been hit with something. By a blind person, apparently.
