Finally getting this one finished up!
1st, the original story and pics as it was when I found it!
A women that lives north of us called, said she had a couple bikes she wanted to sell. Her husband recently passed, and they were his. He had the Monarch restored years back, and had the sprocket changed so it was easier for him to pedal. Great part! They kept original sprocket/pedals, headlight, and wheels.
Present::: Now I just need to finish the trainlight cover (paint and lens). Seat, and sprocket have been corrected, original wheels came out nice and are back on with some period bricks, Might change out grips, haven't decided yet. I do have the original Monark pedals, but for now, I put some 8's on it.
