Rocket?

[LuckySchwinning]

Head badge says Rocket and this is the only look at the bike I got.

I am looking for the cumulative genius of The Cabe to glean insight into what this bike is and what it is missing. Is it a good candidate for restoration?

Is it strange that the Seat stays are bolted on?

Best Regards and Happy Spring!

Nice accessories, --Light with switch, Speedo with hookup, rear stand, nice seat and pedals --Prewar Rocket...with original paint. Should clean up nice...
Depends on price I guess- I`d say BUY IT !!!-----------God Bless,---Cowboy

The accessories on the bike are worth more than the bike. At $500 or less this is a steal. A bonus if the speedo works. The only thing I see missing from the bike is possibly a guard which is fairly easy to get. Can we see a pic of the badge? V/r Shawn

It's a Monark built bike.

LMK if you decide to pass please! I love these quirky early Monark built bikes for some reason.

your bike may be a prototype unless someone on here has one exactly like the one you have.that bike has a lot going on.with the construction how it was built.lugged frame,bolt on rear stays.no monark manuf.tag on the crank housing.unless it was Dayton - Huffman built that would explain it.
