yesterday at my local park I noticed some kid rolling around on a chrome bike, 1st thing that caught my attention was the brake bridge, and then the seat stay seat tube junction..
next up I noticed the cranks..stem.. wtf man..
I asked him where he got from? his dad works at the local tip and brought it home one day!?!?
ok next up.. how much kid..?
after much ummm and arring we agreed on 25 nicka..
so, did I get a bargin?

really not sure what to do with it yet, restore it? or just punt it on for parts? what ever happens the end view is to sell as I already have to many bikes.
the bars were removed by him, but are included he just got to get them to me, hopefully there starbars!
already searched up star products etc but any other info on parts etc would be great?
-
give ya £25 for the cranks :daumenhoch:
-
hmmm so if people want to pm serious :daumenhoch: offers, I guess it'll help me make up my mind, I just mentioned to my girlfriend about possibly restoring it 1st..
never knew she could shout that loud ;D
edit..
if I do decide to sell it will be in the for sale section, but 1st I guess I need to decide, then research its value..

Amazing :daumenhoch:
I never find so much as feckin old dustcap >:( Mind you, I've had and sold some great bikes over the years, so perhaps it's karma :-\
-
and i thought my pound gt pro frame was a good buy today :shocked:.
i'd deffo restore that up.
no way would that be sold.
-
Split it, stick it on the bay and watch the cash roll in :daumenhoch:
Man I would love that :smitten:
-
sick frame and forks! probably an 83, those are the 3rd gen Star decals...used right before the name was switched to GHP.
i still have my original Star that i bought off my buddy, Kevin McCarthy in 82....who was factory Star pro rider. it was the only bike i kept from back in the day.
congrats, you definitely scored. :daumenhoch:
-
frosty on here has one too, the rear dropouts changed as well as the decs :daumenhoch: also looks like the forks got a likkle fatter also :)
-
very nice don't think i'm gonna be able to afford this if it does go up for sale though :(
hope ya gonna give the lad his shirt back though when ya do sell it :LolLolLolLol:
good luck crackin score
-
Fookin speechless! :shocked:
-
would love to see frosty's :)
yes the rear dropouts changed too in the switch from Star to GHP.

"hope ya gonna give the lad his shirt back though when ya do sell it "
haha, ya know I felt proper guilty yesterday after all the hype overs this, honestly thought it was worth a couple of hundred quid at the most...
but, if I hadn't have brought it off him, it would have been trashed (there wasn't any blue paint on it when I 1st spotted it) .. he told me it came with a blue brake thats now in the bin some where??.. he was going to fit some other cranks etc etc..
he and his friends are always on different bikes, so a good save I think..
to help ease my guilt I've got together a little bundle of parts I have kicking around, V1 flybikes simple flat frame, oddy forks oddy wheels etc, all in used condition, but I guess it'll get him rolling again ;)
-
nice one ray
-
if they turn out to be star bars then first dib dobs please ::) :daumenhoch:
-
Was a good save Ray ;) , it sounds like it could've ended up being proper hot rodded ! ;D
-
Nice find.. :daumenhoch:
Just out of interest how many pm's have you had offering to buy parts or the complete bike?
