Got lots of interesting bikes and projects to share with you & get some help

I'd love to see photos of the Local once you get links worked out, apart from mine i've only ever seen photos of 1 other one.

Hi, another Gold Coast newbie here (first post). Just had a kerbside collection in my area and about 500 vehicles driving around looking for stuff - who says the economy is in trouble eh?

Anyway, I did rescue a few bikes before the scrap metal merchants could grab them. Currently working on an Apollo IV, a Malvern Star Sprint 12, a Repco Olympic 12 and another Apollo that's been repainted twice and hard to ID - it has a handmade serial number TEIS1230. Anyone know what year that would be?

Will post some pics once I am able. Cheers.

OK Just checked now iv got it ..
Thought this bike awas a SUPERB but dont think it is , as i now have a 1960 odd SUPERB and the "S" is very different
The serial no is "P5 357" on BB , bike has 28" wheels, looks like a full track frame of 1920's to me ST is 54cm, TT is 57cm
Iv tried to find any aussie bikes with a emblem like this but cant , im presuming it is australian
HELP !!

Now i know how to post photos ill post photos on other bikes the forum will find interesting..

Cheers

I would be willing to bet the green one is a Speedwell, they had a few different versions of the S headbadge but i'm not 100% sure that's one.

I can't remember seeing lugs like the ones on the black bike, very unusual.

I have a Healing with pointy headlugs exactly like that but with the embossed 'H" in the headtube instead of a star, I'll get a picture put up ASAP

Also on Gold coast. restoring a 1931 Dutch Gazelle currently, interested in pre 1933 bikes, that date is slowly sliding further back.
