Monark Silver King

Just got home with this. It's in good condition and could be made to ridden quickly, which is my plan for it. Can someone help me decipher the serial number? Is it reading 33516 with the number 1 upside down? Or is it 335 with an upside down 91?

Nice!!

Thanks guys! Can you believe I actually spent a day pondering on whether I should get it or not!! Guy said he saved it from the trash pile.

I am so jealous I love aluminum frames......

I think mine is the same model as yours, so if you are able to nail down a year please let me know!

What does your head badge look like? I've only seen one other one like mine (so far) and it was listed as a '36.

No head badge, but mine does have the horizontal holes, and the outline looks the same as yours.

What's your serial number?

I don't know off hand, and the bike is currently in the possession of my newly-ex-girlfriend.

Nice score! Are you going to polish the frame at all or leave it as is?

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks! For now, I think I'll clean and treat the aluminum for protection.

Here it is right after I put it together......since then I've gotten the two-speed up and running. It's a blast!

I see the outline for the headbadge and it does look the same. I've seen so many different SK badge pics except for the one on mine. I only saw a shot of the front of a bike with a matching badge.

Very nice!
I would guess that the 1 us upside down. Looks like each number is individually stamped and it would be an easy mistake to flip the 1.

I could see that happening.

What's a good cleaner for aluminum? I don't necessarily want to polish it to a shine right now, but I would like to clean it up really good.

I would use mild soap and water.

If I can get a day to spend with it I may bring it to the show/swap in Lebanon. You going?
