Some great news for Old School Racing.
Star Cycles have been kind enough to show support for Old School Racing in South Australia.
Gary and Staff have a long history of support with the sport of BMX in Australia and are happy to continue this with the South Australian Retro Race Series.
Some information on Star Cycles.
Established in 1963, Elizabeth Star Cycles was a small bike shop of about 70 square metres with a few bikes and tricycles on floor and a range of parts and accessories that would be considered very small by today's standards. The business soon outgrew the premises and we rented a workshop solely for repairs before relocating our shop to a larger store, about 3 times the size. In the mid 70's with rents rising and business booming, they built their own warehouse/factory in Elizabeth West, where they still trade today. In those early days Elizabeth Star Cycles imported English Raleigh bikes.
They also expanded their premises to include a bike production facility where they made their own frames, painted them and assembled quality bikes with Japanese components. Full scale production continued to the mid 90's where they made their range of Vortex bikes including the famous range of Vortex BMX bikes.
Eventually, like the rest of the Australian bike manufactures, they found that it was no longer viable to produce bikes and began importing bikes from Taiwan and China Today, approximately 400 square metres is devoted to sales and repairs. Although Elizabeth Star Cycles no longer their our own range of bikes, they still have the facilities to repair frames, weld and build wheels in a full workshop facility.
