Looking to ID this Monark more specifically ..... I am guessing its early 1960's based on the huffy style features and what i read in similar threads ....
Looking for Pics or catalog of an original condition / same model
Did this bike have a tank ? i.e similar to the middleweight mini tank or tube surround lighted tank ?
I'm hoping to possibly find /source 1. a tank 2. correct fin shape rear rack or close , 2. guard in better condition and /or 3. frame decals 4. a headbadge decal ( if OG or chainguard decal to possibly repaint the OG guard
to do so , and also just to ID the bike .... Id love some help finding catalog pics, original model name , someone here who has the same color / model bike in more orig condition ...
and yes! .... the banana seat is to be deleted
similar threads I saw here had a flat shape to the chain guard and / or were in blue or silver ... anyone had a red one or a pic of this matallicish red in better shape ?
any info as to the above is much appreciated !
Characteristics:
- no badge no remaining labels other than the chain guard
- Chain guard is Tail fin shaped and has no model name painted on
- OG Bendix single red band hub
- Painted not chrome rims
- Bolt heads feature monark M , seat bolt is bullseye motif
- no tank present , nor badge holes , head tub and tall stem lock nut appear huffy like
- one pedal Curved edge / bowtie? style
- slight flare to the seat stay
Oh , one more thing ... where the twin bars merge with the seat tube... does one floss between the twin bars as they pass the top bar or is this supposed to be fused the four inches closest to the seat tube?
