Finally got a motorized bicycle

[whizzerbug]

I picked up a 1954 Monark Super Twin a few weeks ago. Nicely restored deep blue and white paint, sweet pinstripes and graphic's, chrome is great to,!!

I've been fighting the seat tube since it arrived - both stuck and loose. The weather's been to hot to work in the garage for more then 15 minutes at a time but it finally cooled down and the seat post is where I need it to be, waiting on a shim to secure it then I'll do the test run stay tuned.

I got this one from John @toyman and had it delivered by a shipper, well worth the money going that route verses boxing it up, thank's John!

I was able to get it tightened but it took a shim to lock it down. Weather permitting I’ll take a spin this weekend.
