Looks nice on my old, old laptop. Probably re-sprayed.

Here's what ad says:

Super Elliott were the most prestigious bike company in South Australia. This is their top grade hand-made racing bike built for R.J. Fulton. He won 21 races and placed in 33, including Championships, Handicap and scratch races.

The frame seattube is 54 cm centre to centre. It was made by legendary Australian Master Craftsman, Tom Robinson "Tommy Robby", from Reynolds H.M. 'A' grade steel tubing. It has fine handcut fish-tail lugs. Hand-cut oval shaped cutouts feature on the headtube above and below the raised "E", and on the fork crowns. Flamboyant Emerald Green paintwork, cream panels and Super Elliott decals are all in MINT condition. No chips or dents. Red, white and blue hand painted stripes border the cream panels. Double boxed handpainted gold pinstriping on the frame and lugs.

Dunlop Lightweight Endrick 28" steel rims in matching emerald green with cream centre strip and gold hand lining. Trelleborg (Swedish) tyres are in excellent condition. English-made, 40-hole fixed gear, single sided, brightly chromed steel track hub. Alloy insert where the cog is threaded onto the hub with a locknut to reduce weight. Surprisingly light. German-made, brightly chromed steel front hub - 32-hole. Remember, this bike precedes the 2nd World War. Williams (English) crank and 5-pin detachable chainring. Philips (English) rat-trap pedals with toeclips and straps. The "Bell" (Australian) leather saddle is in excellent condition. Coventry (English) chain. TDC (English) bottom bracket. All parts are original and authentic and in perfect working condition with no wear.
