Monark Built TANKLESS 5bar thread(Hawthorne Twin)

[fordmike65]

Since there seem to be a few members here with these bikes, I thought I'd start a thread specifically for these strange & unique frames. I myself have 2, though one has been sold & on it's way out my garage very soon. Please feel free to post pics,info,ads,scans etc about these awesome bikes. Thanks!

Ad for one of the ways this frame was offered:

Pic of my 1st bike before I purchased it:

Pics after if had been stripped of it's coveted "Piecrust" guard.

Pic while servicing bike at work:

Put together & ready for it's first ride:

In the garage after over a year of riding. Note correct stem & nice torpedo installed

Still no pie(crust) for me!

Picked this up recently to replace Ugly Blue(Nicknamed that by fellow coworkers). Some paint loss, but complete, including the Streamline seat.

After servicing, some Flitz, wax, new tires & a better condition carrier in matching paint, here she is. Swapped out the delicate Streamline seat as not to further damage it. Hands down the smoothest, most comfortable rider I currently have on the road.
