What is it?

[Sphinx]

I saw this the other day at a local Scrapyard. They are closed on Sunday, so I took this pic through the fence. Anyone got any ideas?

I'd say mid-late 40s to early 50s Monark. Looks like a 'Rocket'.

Hope you get it!

I think its a Columbia maybe :?: :?: :?: I just cant remember the model :?: Its a odd duck & some what rare if Im correct. Either way that one needs to be saved..

I'd be at the gate waiting for them to open. That needs to be saved.

Definitely Monark. Looks like it has a Colson sprocket

I don't think its a Monark...they didn't build skiptooth bikes,none that I'm aware of any way.I believe its a Colson as well...go save it...we can sort out what it is after you have it!!!...P 8)

I'm laid off from work this week. When I take a break from digging out basement bikes and working on the patio, I'll go talk to them. :wink: 8) I hope they don't think it's made out of gold.

I was kind of thinking "Rocket" as well. It should have a Aluminum Tag under the BB if it is a Monark, right? I have a plain jane tank on a boys frame in the garage I can test for fit.

8) Whatever the maker it is a it will look even better when it's cleaned.

Someone added the Colson skiptooth sprocket

Have no idea what it is, but appears to be a cool bike. Save it!

This little dude here has a similar paint scheme. A hint that maybe it is indeed a Monark.

The kickstand mount doesn't look like Monark to me. Gary

I just called and asked about the bike. The lady that answered the phone acted like I had just pinched her on the bottom when I asked if it were for sale. Whew! I guess that one isn't my concern anymore. :shock: :shock: :roll: :lol:
