I bought the frame in 1980 of a neighbour and the local bike shop built it up back in the day. Looked similar but i changed a few parts. Decals were courtesy of Pete Porker.

Re: 1979 Quicksilver
Thanks for the comments! Quicksilver were made in Sydney by a company called competition developments. The bikes they bring out these days have nothing to do with the classic old schoolers
