I bought this at an auction in PA. The story is that the parents of a young man bought this bike for him. The young man died in 1912 (is the date I am told) and it hung in the family barn until the mom died in 1959. At that time a great nephew acquired the bike and hung it in his garage until it sold at auction. I have cleaned it up and removed the rust. The nickel plating doesn't shine but it the plated parts are in great shape. The bike came apart with no issues (no rusted immovable nuts and bolts). The frame is clean and free of major rust both inside and outside of the frame. All of the bearings in the head, crank and pedals are in great shape. A truly rare thing to find a bike like this in such great condition! The only thing I am doing to this bike is cleaning it up and replacing the spokes on the original wood wheels and having Robert Dean make new tires for it.
thank you for posting
my bike has the black and red paint job, i had purchased fenders for it thinking it should have some ....... obviously I was wrong from the catalogue
love that "Monitor" bicycle ..... great paint job. Anyone own one?
