Blue Ribbon Betty

[mtbikn212]

All right evrybody, guess it's time I quit ogling from the sidelines and join the game. Monark ladies frame, not sure of the year (if anybody has a direct link to a list, it would be greatly appreicated). Model 3310, Serial # A0928429. Starting with the frame, chainguard and whatever parts on hand. Other than Rattle can paint and elbow grease I will be buying as little as possible, (unless I find a killer deal on some dress protector fender skirts). As soon as I figure out how to post pics, I will...

OK...so this is the only way I can figure out how to get a pic in, this will have to do. :?: I will try to search the posts and figure an easier way to just get the pics in the post, (hopefully before the next pics).

Hit the quote button on this post and look at the code. Use the image button in the post a reply form, and enter the photo location code instead of the directory instruction, or use the official Rat Rod instructions - viewtopic.php?f=6&t=172

Thank you deorman, I knew there were instructions somewhere, I just couldn't find them. Thanks again.
