It’s my daughters car. Someone lost a roof rack off their car and in the dark she hit it. The oil pan, radiator, condenser, and bumper cover was punctured. She didn’t have the means to repair the damage so I am doing a repair I would rather not do. Engine and transmission came out to replace the...

Good morning, I’m the new owner of the Follis, it is still as received and not rideable yet. I had a couple of large projects that have occupied my spare time. However; I did own a Follis 572 a couple years back and it was a great riding machine. -Tad

I’ve been through this once. The penetrating oil and ammonia soaks were ineffective for me. The seat post was mounted in a vise and attempted to use the frame as a lever to twist the post loose; didn’t work.(broke the end off the seat post) I ended up cutting the seat post nearly flush with...

The Monark was purchased this week and after a cleaning we went for quick ride around the neighborhood.

My wife borrowed a few extra wheels I had in the parts bin and made some wreaths out of them. I’m pretty proud of her and her creations.

This post war Monark was for sale locally. The seller’s dad (who customized this bicycle) was a pin striper and custom car builder. It’s suggested this bike was customized in the 60s/ early 70s. The black photo is the inside of one of the rear fender skirts. The skirts and the triangle pieces...
