Malvern Star road bike -- worth anything to anyone?

I have an old (about 1980s, I think, not sure) Malvern Star road bike
that I started to do up, until I realised it needed a new rear wheel
(in addition to a few other more minor bits and pieces). I thought I
would ask here if anyone may be interested in it, and if so, how much
it might be worth to them.

The details a

* chrome moly mainframe tubing (58 cm from centre of bottom bracket to
top of seat tube)
* Weinmann 700c double wall wheels (rear one's no good according to LBS
-- warped because of broken axle). Width as measured is about
18mm. Quick release.
* Shimano SIS rear indexing (downtube shifters).
* Total bike weight 11.6kg


What I did to it so far:

* New brake cables/housings.
* New tubes and tyres.
* New chain.
* Removed old handle bar tape and filed off surface rust. (Structural
strength seems unaffected.)

What it needs:

* Rear wheel
* Frame truing (quoted $20 at my LBS) (slight bend causes rear wheel
not to fall out freely)
* Handlebar tape
* Pedals (unless you have really small feet)
* New gear cables would be a good idea
* Paint job if you like perfection and/or don't like dull pink (forks
and head tube are white).


I'm in the Wollongong area. Let me know if you're interested.

I was in the pub last night, and a guy asked me for a light for his
cigarette. I suddenly realised that there was a demand here and money
to be made, and so I agreed to light his cigarette for 10 pence, but I
didn't actually give him a light, I sold him a licence to burn his
cigarette. My fire-licence restricted him from giving the light to
anybody else, after all, that fire was my property. He was drunk, and
dismissing me as a loony, but accepted my fire (and by implication the
licence which governed its use) anyway. Of course in a matter of
minutes I noticed a friend of his asking him for a light and to my
outrage he gave his cigarette to his friend and pirated my fire! I was
furious, I started to make my way over to that side of the bar but to
my added horror his friend then started to light other people's
cigarettes left, right, and centre! Before long that whole side of the
bar was enjoying MY fire without paying me anything. Enraged I went
from person to person grabbing their cigarettes from their hands,
throwing them to the ground, and stamping on them.

Strangely the door staff exhibited no respect for my property rights
as they threw me out the door.
