Monark silver king I.D

[Arkos]

Hey guys sorry for the 2nd thread I have tried to change the original thread name 3 times. So someone is selling this bike, doesn't know what it is the only name he saw is "karin". It's aluminum. I was told in the other thread it's a monark silver king. Anyways if you guys could give me any info on it such as value and age I'd greatly appreciate it!

I need those truss rods ;-) and that seat post. You have about $600 worth of one in this photo. Get those huffy bars off of it and toss them. Please be carefully with it. It is cast aluminum and there are no welds. If you break those lugs you are screwed


It wasn't me I swear.

Mine is a 1936 and very Rat Rod ish ( i.e. Incomplete) I still hurt a few peoples feelings when they found out I payed less than a grand ( a lot less) how do you make that sticking toungue out smiley. There are some outrageously overpriced ones on eBay. And some are worth insane amounts. That is the M1 welcome to the club. Do not leave without it.

It is a 24" inch bike. No one who owns one even cares. We ride them occasionally until our legs burn so bad we can't stand up anyway.

Hah yeah I'm going to snag it in that case, any idea of the year

 

[joel.romeo.79]

Very and I mean Very collectible.

I'm stoked, I wish I didn't have to wait till the weekend to go get it but it's 2 hours away. The lady is going to hold it I hope, she seemed like it

 

[joel.romeo.79]

Definitely on the coveted bike frames list ;-)


It wasn't me I swear.

 

[Arkos]

That is one sweet lookin rifede

 

[joel.romeo.79]

You are lucky I don't know where it is I would go grab it. I mean pick it up for you. I mean ... ....


It wasn't me I swear.

 

[Arkos]

Lol my lips are sealed

 

[joel.romeo.79]

It's on my one of these days I will build one like that list. Not mine. Just bad ...


It wasn't me I swear.

Looks like that custom work is out of my skill bracket, sweet stance

 

[joel.romeo.79]

This is my 24" Elgin with 26" Elgin wheels. You can put 26" balloon tires in those old bikes they just fit. I would try to complete it but in the mean time.


It wasn't me I swear.

 

[joel.romeo.79]

The 24" fat franks look pretty sick too


It wasn't me I swear.

 

[Arkos]

Oh that's cool it'll take 26". Not sure if I'm going to build her or resell to fund another. Guess we will see

 

[joel.romeo.79]

The frame would sell for $400


It wasn't me I swear.

 

[joel.romeo.79]

Those truss rods and other bits are where it starts getting valuable.


It wasn't me I swear.

 

[Arkos]

Wouldn't be a bad flip but I have a feeling if I parted I may kick myself until I see one again which could be never!

The rear reflector on the bike is worth a mint. Don't give it away whatever you do.
