The "Patina Monster Roadster" is on the road!
1939 Monark Rocket Motorbike. 1 year only Pencil Springer. Pie Crust Chainguard. Clincher style seat post. Original period blackwall Goodyears as well.
I have truly enjoyed this project. I wanted this one to show some of the more unique original parts in bare metal.
Working on tank area insert now

Vedy Vedy niiice!!!
Those "clincher style seat posts" make for a clean look!! I imagine that being a "Monark guy" you have had the pleasure of pulling one out that was rusted into the seat tube previously?
I like the floating reflector as well. Fancy.
Congrats on getting it rolling.

They can be a nightmare for sure!!!!;)
 
Got the chainguard painted and decals applied to my 1948 Transfendered Hiawatha custom, guard decal is from a Hiawatha Doodlebug. Fenders and rack will soon be painted, but I'm not 100% sure they'll find a home on this bike.

Gone crazy building up my strength and endurance in regard to brush skills.
Easier said than done...gotta be a "Master of Chill", like Bob Ross..."Beat the Devil Out of That Little Brush!"

Used 1Shot Enamel with catalyst hardener. Brown Black Blue to match my Folk Art Theme bicycle. Modified a kickstand to be utilized as an Axle-Mahl for placing and steadying the hand. Each tire took approx 2.5 hrs to paint, I'm sore. Worth the effort though.

This ride was given to me by a friend. I tried to buy it about 10 years ago before he sanded some of the paint off . Ooh well the price was fantastic , I’ll use it as a shop bike . I heated the steering tube to get the wedge out. Now I’ve got to heat the wedge to get the bolt out of it . No big deal I just ran out of time every one Enjoy the Ride

Put the rack on my '48 Transfendered Hiawatha, and took it out for a nice cruise. I'd love for this to become a 3 speed, but to do that I'd want a different style shifter. Any cool ideas running around for custom Nexus 3 speed shifters, preferably something that would fit the look of this build?
