First post, and pretty new to the site. BTW if and one knows any info about this bike let me know. I have the manufacturing plate and everything and still cant find anything.
Not sure on the year of the bike and couldnt find any info on it. Only two months of building. Friend found it in a creek and I'm using original rims, rear hub, and bottom bracket and internals. Spins like a champ!

Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics. And also for no build up pics. I didn't even think of takin any. haha

It's a Monark built bike if that helps you any. Should be ablr to find tons of info on Monarks.

LOL....I'm a slow typer. Nice bike by the way!

Me too ...I type like a person with a stick tied to his nose. Looking at the badge I'm pretty sure Monark made it for White stores and badged it for them. Try here and look at pic of a 40's 50's monark and you will probably find a match

My first bike I ever put together was pulled out of a creek when I was a kid.
I seem to have lost the ability to find such stuff now.
Wish I could get it back. Great find.
