Cruisin' on my Bluebird
Now that i sold off my wood wheeled bike from 1898.. this is the eldest of the fleet. 1936-ish?? Monark built SilverKing.
- i added a new-ish seat. i have the original [ i think ] some where in the garage or at least period correct
- missing a truss rod bolt [ i have no idea where i am going to get that ]
- missing a tiny screw and nut for the chainguard clamp...i will just add any machine screw and nut
- missing the battery tube setup for the front light ...
- missing the original left pedal.
- tires are probably from the 50s they say made in japan
- morrow hub needs a servicing. i have to spin the crank a full rotation before it engages.
- did this one have a chain guard?
it is a 24" bike and even for a shorty like me is not that comfy. im going to have to bump up the seat post.
I didn't clean it a bit yet. I am super pumped to shine it up!! For an 80 year old bike it is fantastic .
