The resto of a 1953 Swedish Monark M/104A Military Bike and a 1945 Husqvarna Military

Finally riding a big boys bike
....Bike Trailer

I recently imported another Swedish Military Bike from a guy in Great Britain. This one is a 1953 Monark M/104A. I also bought a 1945 Husqvarna Military Bike Trailer. This bike uses the same accessories and tool kit as the 1942 Husqvarna M/42 (seen here). The light was also used on later M/42 bikes towards the end of their production. The fenders, hubs, wheels, accessories, and tool kit were provided to Monark by Husqvarna under a collaboration agreement in the military contract to make the parts interchangeable between manufacturers. This bike uses 28" x 1 1/2" (635mm) wheels which are same size used on teens bikes, bikes from 3rd world countries, and English roadsters.

Here are some pics of it still together before being shipped from England.

some updates

2 brand new NOS seats from the Swedish army surplus. The last 2 in Olive Drab. They also have black but those are for the post-71 M/111. Every thing is done except to paint the frame, bars, pedal frames, and fenders and braces, and to reassemble the bike.

Interesting project. Did this one also come with the weird, chain-operated front drum they sometimes used or just the plain one in the picture?
