Monark Super Cruiser Question

The maroon and lighter red is an actual paint scheme though, I've got a 53/4 version at home.

Wow...interesting! I guess the weird part then is no tab.

This sounds like it looks like your combo, but...guess what...no tab. It does state 100% original. So maybe there are a few without tabs...?

So back to square 1. Perhaps the one on ebay is a good deal, just no tab.

Here's another one without the tab on downtube in their collection.

This is interesting...you learn new things daily...lol...now I'm considering the one on ebay again.

Just a heads up, putting a bike as deluxe as this together from the frame up is the expensive and hard way to go. If I were buying a tank model, I'd definitely have a tabbed frame. These forks flop over and it's always a shame to look across and see the damage done.

The tabs do have a great purpose! I like that feature.

I have a 1948 Firestone Super Cruiser, basically the same as a 1947 Monark Super Deluxe, dual springer and the wife has a girls 1953 Firestone Holiday single action springer. Both do not have tabs.

Thank you. Great info. We're there ever Monarch Firestone Supe Crusiers with the tab?

Yes. Here is my 1952 Super Cruiser
