I just picked up this Monark today and I was hoping you guys could give me more information about it. I know the tires are not original (made in Japan) but not much else. The tires are 24", it has a New Departure Model D coaster brake. The badge reads Rocket mfd by: Monark Silver King Inc. Chicago, IL I would like to find out what year it is and the official model name so that I can track down a tank and luggage rack. I have seen some pictures of Monark Deluxe bikes that have similar frames but I'm not sure if thats what I'm looking for since those seem to have the 26" tires. Did they change the frame with the tire size? I'll be cleaning and servicing it tomorrow so I can get some seat time before the snow hits. My winter project will be a more in depth restoration. Thanks for reading, and any info will be most helpful!
