#01840 mens , rear facing dropouts, there is blue paint under the silver. Someone resprayed shimmed the handle bars on there & also put a nail in with seat pole.
Rear hub is immaculate, rims look like they were shiny when parked until the chain rusted itself together.
I have more photos I'll upload soon.

I have an old Malvern Star 2 star Ladies bicycle. The serial number is 5M 16180 located on the top of the frame where the seat post slides into the frame. Any idea on how old this bike is?
Cheers

Indeed that one is a Semi racer. they were called a Semi racer in fact. But it would have had mudgaurds and lights when new.maccayak wrote:Try again. Hopefully you can see photos.
Not pre 30, Im guessing about 65ish. Bought it on ebay over the weekend to add to my growing stable of Malvern Stars of a similar vintage. I know its a base model cheaper frame. Most of the frame looks the quality of basic skidstars I have. Just the rear drop out is different.
What can members tell me about this frame? Presume it was a budget model track bike that brakes could be fitted to. Looks like its had brakes fitted in a previous life.

Whether it is a track frame or a road frame having rear facing dropouts would need photos.

Any help with this would be great. I think it's early 30s or late 20s.
The bottom bracket is a Bayliss Wiley and the coaster hub is a Favorit (not sure it was original).
This is my first post, so if photos are needed I'll work that out later.
Thanks in advance, Ryan

Wheels are 28", not matching rims, front is a 40 hole hub, rear is 36 hole.Torana68 wrote:what do the do the seat stays look like where they bolt to the chain stays? (pic please)
Seat post bolt section
Bolt section near rear drop out
bottom bracket
and sorry, I'm still trying to clean 80 odd years of grime from the crankset and crank arms, haven't seen any writing on those thus far, but there is a load of crust on them...

I was just wondering if anyone could help in identifying a year of production?
Or any other information about this particular frame.
Thanks

Photos are needed to help identify the original style of the bike.

Given we've spent years (and our own money) accumulating knowledge, as vintage bicycle enthusiasts we're a bit reticent in replying to new posts that are other people's lazy preparation for a listing on fleabay or the like.
That said, what are your plans? If it's just to sell then please offer it first to forum members who know how to preserve and respect it. You can only ruin an old bike once ...
