Got it for free...What is it???

[mybike1]

I got this for FREE!!! yup... I spotted it leaning against a stop sign and waited for about 4 hours, I finally walked up to the nearest house to see if it belonged to anyone there. The answer was "yeah, it's mine... but you can have it if you want it"
The headbadge reads "CHALLENGER" with no other markings. Anyone have any idea what this is? or maybe what year?

A Cleveland Welding made bike. One of the best head badges ever (my opinion) and a great looking tank. Nice find! :mrgreen:

Wow!!!! Nice Score!

 

[blink]

that tank is tuff!

The bike is a 1941 Monark, not a Cleveland Welding built bike.

That's a genuine mid-century FREE!?!?unbelievable! :shock: 8)

Yup... I'm happy. BTW, I'll be looking for a dropstand and some other parts for it. The pictures actually make it look like it's in better condition than what it actually is. But I'm not complaining. Anyone have any parts for this? Mainly looking for fenders, saddle, front fender light, dropstand, and leftside tank.
And I own a bike shop so if you need anything let me know, I wouldn't mind trading parts for parts. :wink:

Sell it to me, I'll give you double your investment :wink:

That is where my bike went. I leaned it up against a post for like 5 hrs and it was gone! LOL
Great score!
