Tru test bicycle serial # help

[Tidaniels]

I have a tru test bicycle a customer has brought to me for restoration. I am looking for information on it for parts and any other comments that might help me with the restoration. The model # is T2261D and the serial # is A1605181. Thank you in advance for any help.

Welcome to the forum! That bike was sold by Tru Test Hardware stores, and built by Monark in 1953 by the serial #. It's a balloon tire bike also, Monark dropped all balloon tire models after 1954.

Thank you for the information. Where would be a good place to look for replacement parts?

Welcome to our forum! If you go to the buy/sell section of the forum and post what it is you are looking for the chances are great that someone will have what you need and usually at a very fair price. Good luck with the Tru Test, Monark was a fine manufacturer.
