And it all began with this ...		Great Job Brad!

Brad writes: "All done!! Bike is completed bar some frame stickers (on order) Original badge has been detailed and refitted, note for swingbike restorers: refit badge before fitting forks as it's a little hard to rivet the badge on when there is a fork tube inside!! Was going to fit a front brake but decided not to, to keep the bike 'clean and simple' anyway if your going fast enough on a swing Bike to need the front brake then your in trouble!! Bike looks brand new and rides well, it may not be original but I am very happy the way it has turned out."

Brad continues: "... in this pic is my 'other' muscle bike a 70's Malvern Star Dragstar, a must have for aussie kids in the 70's!!!!! This is my next 'restore' project
