The date code on the rear derailleur suggests 1985. The front cranks and derailleur seem to have been added about 1987 (according to date codes).

Malvern Star is a pretty famous Australian bike brand that's been around since 1903 (when they started making bikes). They've gone a bit meh over the last few decades unfortunately and are now mostly big box stores bikes.

The dang seatpost took me around 5 hours or so to get out today. Crazy.

Just my latest project. Going to be updating it with mostly era faithful parts.

    Five hours for a seatpost? Dude, just use a Sawzall next time. Hope you at least flipped it for more than a Surron’s battery pack costs.
