Graecross Industries

Graeme Stott founded Graecross, an importer and manufacturer based in Baywsater, Victoria, Australia ¹⁾ circa 1980. Exceedingly little information is available, yet plenty of bicycle pictures can be found online and in current auctions, showing that Graecross was a popular brand within Australia. It 1988 it was sold to Playcorp, perhaps after merging with Malvern Star and then Pacific Dunlop in 1992. For most of this time, Graeme Stott remained a partial owner and manager of the brand.

Note variant spelling. SunTour MounTech front and back, Sugino GT cranks. Mangalloy frame, tubing made by Tange. From Freewheeling Magazine #24 March/April 1984, page 18. Some pics can be found of examples with the “Jackeroo” spelling, but rarely do people take a decent drive side pic for posterity.

Possibly a (unique) SunTour ARX with a XC triple pulley. Likely (1985-86). This derailleur is not in any catalog, nor on any other bicycle. Nor can any pictures be found via google of a similar derailleur. Bullmoose bars.
