I Built a 90 yo Malvern Star 5 Star Track Bike… Then Took It to the Velodrome

A true Australian classic returns to the velodrome. In this episode, I take you through the build of a 90 yo Malvern Star, 5 Star Track Bike, transforming a bare vintage frame into a machine ready to race once again. Every component is chosen to prepare the bike for a second life back on the Lidcombe track. With the build complete, it's time to head to the track for the first session. There's nothing quite like the feeling of riding a classic steel track bike—simple, direct and incredibly rewarding. Whether you're restoring a vintage bicycle, racing on the velodrome, or simply appreciate cycling history, I hope you enjoy coming along for the journey.
