Looks like a pretty hefty gear you're running.

It's 74 from memory.
I'm doing a Fixie Imperial Century on it in about 6 weeks. We'll see if that gear is too big then I guess! It's fine for riding around town.

Bike stripped down, honey coloured brookes England special saddle arrived, trying to source honey coloured bar tape at a reasonable price, and frame and forks dropped off for a paint job. Two pack automotive paint 2 colour and heaps of clear 2 pack on top, and I pick it up next week. I am also flipping the bull-horn bars over for a meaner look. Really looking forward to getting an after shot to show the finished beast.Gordonhooker wrote:The old Malvern Star triathelete frame is slowly coming to life - I have decided to go with a custom paint job and will post a pic when it is finally done. I have also decided to go coaster brake and remove all hand brakes from the beast.

I had forgotten just how comfortable this old girl was to ride.

Only things left to do as the money allows:
Brooks England honey coloured bar tape to match the seat.
Carry rack for the rear,
Mudguards front and back,
Custom sign writing or decals for the name.
Rides really well and worth the effort as far as I am concerned....
PS.... if you are going to do a build yourself it does end up costing more than going out an buying a beast already done

Second one started life as a Repco Superlight Tri circa late 1980s and many hour
of work to this point. A beaut ride and still a work in progress.

Not sure I will do it again though - it ended up costing me a bit and I still have a couple of things left to do to mine.
The Cell looks very similar to the Harrier - I had one of those while building mine on top of an 1982 Malvern Start Triathlete frame.

Why are your bullhorns upside down?
