Almost all original and correct. Except for tank which from a 1953 Monark and tires/tubes not original. Pedals are vintage but not correct for the bike. The good: The repainted Tank although a 1953 is the best original tank I’ve ever had, the jewels are in very good condition. The tank is...

That sure is a nice behind, lol!👍👍👍

I am unable to edit this. Here are more pics. Open to offers, especially if all go at once. I’m finding a gravel bike so something has to go.

Yes sir. Thank you. I just didn’t want him to think I was mocking him, it was a sincere question.

Wow!!!!!!! .geez, bro take a breath! How on Gods green earth was I mocking you? All I asked was a simple question.🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔😁

My bad. I apologize, I meant to respond to other poster. That’s a beautiful bike at a very fair price. I hope this day finds you well.🇺🇸🚴

What would you do to this if it was yours?

I’m surprised this has not sold yet. I’ve seen it on Ebay for a while. If I wasn’t 1800+ miles away I would be tempted to make an offer and pick up. I would not feel comfortable trusting a shipper to ship this bike cross country. Beautiful bike!!!!!

Here’s a 1964 that I found several years ago. Looking to trade for a prewar boys bike project.

Leon goes on many a egotistical, condescending arrogant diatribe quite often. You did nothing to perpetuate an argument .

Wow!!! Showing your ego , rudeness and grumpiness again…. Chill out Leon. It’s only a bicycle forum🤣🤣🤣🤣

I’ve been into vintage bicycles since 1990 and I personally don’t care what others do with their money and time, they are free to approach the hobby as they see fit. If someone has a ultra rare part and they can get top dollar for it, why wouldn’t they want to get too soar for it?? Unless your...

Dang. I’m sorry to hear that. Hope you feel better soon and get back in the saddle.

Fantastic post!!! You summarized many of the reasons a lot of us are into old bikes. Thank you! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🚴‍♂️🚴‍♂️🚴‍♂️🚴‍♂️

Firstly, your post has an air on arrogance, sarcasm, condescension and ignorance. Who is anyone to criticize those who enjoy fishing, playing video games, golfing, coin collecting, car collecting, antique collecting etc etc etc that they may have more of one such item of interest? You come...

Oh I see. Thank you so much!

Took it to Sherman Branch early this morning, finally getting cooler weather here in NC.

Can anyone explain what all the “ bump” messages mean? 🤔

Thank you for posting!🇺🇸

Great info! Thank you for posting this.🇺🇸

Thank you for your comment.🇺🇸

This is fantastic, thank you for posting. One curious thing is the date..well before December 7, 1941 which initiated USA into WW2. Am I missing something? It appears as though the gubbmint knew we were going to war before Pearl Harbor. Something some you fellow history enthusiast may enjoy...

Definetly a 1948. I have the same bike but in red, really nice original, but not as nice as this. What a beautiful bicycle.👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Bump

I agree with BFGforme, a lot more better pictures outside would be a plus. It appears as though the front part of the springer is chrome?

That’s a 1939 Columbia girls bike

Very sad to hear that. I live a couple towns away from where Don was, and I remember the day he messaged me asking me if I was interested in a 48’ Monark. Dealing with him was an excellent experience. He was a true enthusiast and not greedy at all, and gave me a really fair deal on the Monark...

Wow! Sorry to hear that.

1983 Fuji Team on an early morning ride.

Antique automobiles

I rode 100 miles one day (very long day) on a fully loaded 53 Monark Super Deluxe….of course that was many years ago when I was in my mid 30’s and I have to confess I did have it geared down a bit, with a girls front sprocket up front. If I remember it was literally riding from sun up till sun...

I’ve got an original 1964 Schwinn Tiger 3 speed Coppertone. All original with patina. Will not ship so I’m not sure if you are planning on being in Charlotte nc area any time soon. https://charlotte.craigslist.org/bik/d/monroe-1964-original-speed-schwinn-tiger/7630005536.html

Yes. Here is my 1952 Super Cruiser

Very well said! I totally agree with you and I like to do the same thing with my bikes. BTW, I’m in NC.

No hate here! That is a beautiful collection of bicycles 👍👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Beautiful bike. I love it just the way it is!👍👍👍

I totally agree with you. I think the majority of collectors like us feel the same way. The history associated with the bike, dings, scratches , patina are a part of the historical appeal of the bicycle. It came from a bygone era and that for me is the very cool part.👍🇺🇸

Totally agree. I had a 41 Columbia years ago that I put some rechromed wheels on, and although the wheels were absolutely amazing, they did not come close to matching the look of the other chromed parts…. Way too shiny and too perfect.

I totally agree. I’ve had bikes that are so crusty that a total repaint brings new life to it and serves as a really cool rider.👍🇺🇸

Personally, I would choose the original with patina. I guess I love the connection to history that an original bike offers.

Totally agree. There was a “restored” Monark S. Deluxe on Ebay lately but amazingly it had modern aluminum wheels with a Nexus rear hub, & non correct seat. And the asking price was $7200!!!

Beautiful bike. Yet another that’s on my wishlist.👍

This is an example why you need to know what you are looking for when buying on Ebay, I have seen many mislabeled and incorrect information on Ebay, usually due to the seller not really knowing exactly what they are selling.

I prefer original every day, with the history associated with patina. Although if I could have a well restored bike that appears NOS, I would love to have a Monark Holiday or a prewar Dayton Twinflex.👍 I have seen a few restored Monarks that were real nice, but little details like fender...

Put some miles on my upgraded mid 80’s Ross

I had a stuck stem on my 65’ Typhoon, applied Kroil every morning and night for 3 weeks, also used heat the best I could. Problem was, the stem was broken off, so I was afraid to put too much heat on head tube or fork and possibly damage any brazing. Nothing worked. I actually ended up using...
