70 bucks well spent

[chaunceysj]

hey guys hit a swap meet today and i think i did fairly well.
got two frames:

this was $20
and

this was $50
dont know much about what this frame is any help would be appreciated.

The bottom frame looks like a monark built bike if im not mistaken.

thanks Larz. any way of finding out for sure? it does have some numbers stamped into it in a few places. ive always played with scwhinns where you an look up the vin numbers.

WOW what is the first one?

 

[chaunceysj]

first one as i was told by the guy i bought it from was a custom built aluminum frame. not a 700c, but a 650c. thinkg is wicked bladed stays and down tube and its gott all the fiting to run cables inside the frame. for $20 bucks there was no way i could pass it up

if the bottom one is a monark it will have a plate on the bottom with a model and serial no., and probably a broken weld at the bottom of the seat post.(ha ha)

The first frame looks like a frame for a time trial bike, $20 WELL spent there!

Don't know what the second bike is but I don't think it is a Monark. Cool bike though. Someone here will know what it is.

well at a quick glance the seconf frame has nubers on the bottom bracket as well as on the seat tube. kinda wierd place but hey. :?:
and yeah i jumped on that aluminum frame got plans for it already.
