Thanks brother! That's where I am leaning too.

Now I remember why these summer build offs are so rough on me. Yards to mow, drag races to go to, cruise ins, cars to work on, general house repairs (wife's idea not mine), vacations to plan, etc etc..........I know, I'm not the only one with these problems and more!! But, I do have some other...

Heck yeah, build that wheel and then mount it on a stand and get out the big grinder. If you are really good, you can probably regulate the speed of the spin with the angle of the grinder!

My best guess is early to mid 50's. I have a western flyer badged Monark that is the same basic bike, mine is a 53. There should be a serial plate on the bottom bracket under the crank.

The Luxury Liner will easily part out between $400 and $500 if everything is in good condition.

Good, but small....I don't think that the advertising got out as well as it could have. We need to add a ride and some other activities, such as a show and maybe a safety obstacle course for kids, etc. etc. The seller to buyer ratio was at least 2 to 1 all day.

I like it, it has a hot rod look! It looks pretty good in that position too.

I have seen other members add nylon washers when they have too much space. They help keep things nice and snug while cutting the friction down!

Yeah, I needed it to move so I can free up some space.

Christopher replied..........sale is completed.

I don't know, I haven't tried...yet!:)

Cool, now get crackin'! Maybe that's not the best saying when working with vintage aluminum bikes.......:shake:

I hope that you can, soon!

Interesting idea on the fender, I do plan have both front and rear fender set at the same level on the back edge.

Haha, a vote for both! That is kinda how I'm felling too! Do you think the fender looks alright in there?

Well, I went with the caster wheel bracket cut up to make my rockers. And I talked @ratrodz into basically selling me a cut down Monark fender for about the cost of shipping it to me. Thanks Arron! I am in the trial fit stage with these parts right now. Genius here has no idea why the...

Whew Ed, I actually hate to critique other builders work, glad that I didn't offend you. I'm sure that you will get it sorted out! I had to go back and look at the rear fender braces after Kingfish said he liked them better spaced out. I do still like them close, in that position, it looks like...

I usually try to stay 2 -3 colors max. Everything belongs together, but somehow it looks mismatched to my eye.

It will lift the bike a little. The spring assembly is pushed further down and this rotates the rocker more. You shouldn't have any problems.

I'd hold it for a friend if he was sure that he wanted it in the near future!:grin:
