Weird Purple Firestone Super Cruiser on Craigslist.

[Harvest Cyclery]

Saw this on Craigslist while diggin around.

Nothing looks right about this bike.

I've never seen a purple super cruiser or a color matched springer.

I wonder if Monarcks are more rare then Monarks.

Might have to meet this craze feller.

At $2150 he's pretty damn proud of that thing isn't he.

Is that a '52? It looks quite similar to mine. If that's not the stock color (and I can't imagine that it is) someone did an amazing job on the tank decals!! Wow!

he's trolling for suckers with that thing and that price. Just using the phrase "all original" is pathetic.

Looks like a product of the little known MTV series ..."Pimp my Bike" starring Pee Wee Herman in the role of Ludicrous

Sweet ride, but not 2 Grand worth IMHO

That is actually a Monark color known as chromatic fuchsia from 55-57 or so. Here's some photos of a 55-57 Monark roadster w/traces of this color left under badge and light.

And from what I've seen some springer forks were painted.

I guess it's different strokes fir different folks! That bike is 45 minutes from me and u did not even look twice! I could find 4 of those at that price and its just ugly as sin to me. Whatever floats your boat!
