Awaiting resto....
 
Might as well put these here. A 1952 Monark-built Firestone that I picked up last spring:

It's currently all apart for a resto-mod.

And my highly modified Monark Rocket from RRBBO7:

I really like that bike. I don't know why it didn't get more votes.

Too many excellent choices, too few votes to use. That's the basic issue for most of the bikes that didn't get the votes they probably ought to have had. I think, frankly, that this bike would have done very well in the voting in build off 5 or 6, but this year the bar's been raised. Building to last year's level isn't enough...
 
I hope, european Monarks allowed too...

My rat project, Monark Speedway.

Open rust removed, spokes replaced, wheels adjusted, hubs oiled, tires finded and some testassembling made.
