Not normally a fan of this style but I think this is a gorgeous example, in beautiful shape at a fairly decent price for California .
Ad reads: Beautiful 1960's Monark Sportster bicycle. Made in England. Near mint condition. It has 3 speeds, working original front and rear lights (generator powered), original rear cargo rack, new tires and tubes. The only real flaw I can see is a few dings and a small dent on the chain guard (see pics). Beautiful bike for the collector, daily commuter or weekend warrior. Similar to a Schwinn

sweet, 61/62 Raleigh built for Huffy, better than a Schwinn, imo.

1963 was the last year Huffy imported them, and they had a twist shifter then, 1964 Huffy was tooled up and making their own 3 speed light weights.

I have a Murray 3 speed light weight from the 60's and has the twist grip shiftier. Makes for a lot easier pooping on the fly. Does any one know what this bike sold for. Really nice looking Monark. Razin.

I don’t know why I didn’t include the price in the post, usually I’m better about that. If I recall I think the guy was asking $300.

If that bike is worth $300.00, I wonder what my Murray with O.G. faded burnt orange paint and twist grip shiftier with original tires would go for.? Thanks for sharing and Ride On. Razin. P.S. Maybe $175.00-$200.00?
