I need a monark style one, I dont got no Greenbacks left.. It felt good though, i Baught the red one with MY OWN Money not daddys lol. Feels nice.

By the way how did you bend the fork back? I tried on my RRBBO2 Bike and couldn't do it. Swapped forks with the donor bike which was an OK thing as it led to the cool bend in my truss rods.

 

[ricksterr1221]

Ill get pics of how i did it, Let me try 2 explain, I didnt even take the fork out,

Okay, I put 2 pieces of flat stock on each side of the vice,
Put the fork prongs in the vice, Then as me and dad were holding the bike up
we lifted up on it and bent them back. Ill get pictures.

Do u think the redbike is pre-war?

 

[ACD]

Might be a pre war.. does it have the rear prop stand instead of a kickstand? I have my images set to crappy as I'm on dial up and the pages load faster that way.

 

[Hooch]

yep its a prewar for sure

 

[Hooch]

oh and great finds!

 

[ricksterr1221]

Sweet hooch, Can u tell me what the makes are on them, The blue one is made by clevland welding co.

The red on dont have no markings.. That i could find anyway, I dont know where to look.

 

[Hooch]

looks like a monark just like marks 1st buildoff bike

 

[Hooch]

well the frame between the seat and the rear wheel looked the same but the lower crossbar in the frame is abit different
so i guess i dunno

 

[ricksterr1221]

Sweet hooch, Any idea what year its from, Or where i could find some number on the frame.

 

[ricksterr1221]

No acd, It dont got a kickstand :?

Hmmm.
