Hi Galen,
Don't know of any locally for sale offhand and I don't have much time of late to to hob-knob with those who might know of some but I will keep an eye out for you. If you find me a SA 2 speed fixed I'll find you a 5 Star frame pretty quickly ;)
I should mention that due to the shallow angles, fist of seatpost, short stem and shallow drop bars of the period most 5 Stars were produced you'll have no trouble getting comfortable on most any 22 inch variant of the marque and maybe even bigger. That's been my experience.
Listmember Greg Softley has truly excellent Malvern Star decals in most variations, so there should me many candidates for a fine ride if a repaint is something you are not averse to. Also, rumour has it that there is a little known but quite substantial Australian Bike Museum in San Antonio, Tejas.
ciao,
ben kamenjas Sydney, Australia
