The Mighty Malvern Star is a purchase from a local charity store that had been partially modified as a coaster single gear, though it originally had a 10 speed cluster on it. Doug at Geard Cycles in Launceston is helping me to finesse the "AULD DEAR" back into shape. The Mighty Malvern Star is my daily rider. It is an ongoing project.
