I second dougc I used to work at a beer distributor and we had a rolling rock bike raffled off with a bunch of other stuff. Crooked owner had people fill out hundreds of tickets then gave the stuff to his friends :roll: Nice way to appreciate your customers. There was a michelob ultra recently...

This makes me want to stop and peek into every barn I see. Sweet Sweet Machine

Taking a shot in the dark here and need to get a photobucket account. I picked up a 60's monkark/huffman (star looking sprocket) similar to the one a few others have posted picks of similar to the el camino. I am looking at getting fenders but the ones I found only say fits 26inch bikes but no...

From what I have read for a few years huffman built bikes badged as monark. I have one from the 60's the frame is a bit different though. Nice looking bike by the way.

Awesome score. Nice to see a great deal slip through and someone on here grab it!

Okay reviving this thread. Was this a one off ride? I live about 10 minutes south of harrisburg and think it would be pretty sweet to get a ride together about once a month. All the guys I know into old bikes around here are 70 years old and more interested in looking at them then riding them. I...

Yeah those shows trump up prices for tv. You happen to see the mini bike indian on pawn stars? I see nice ones going for $5-700 on ebay. They said it was worth $4,500 :shock:

I apologize if this has been discussed to death. I personally think the man is a genius and national treasure. I just read the bike from pee-wee's big adventure got auctioned off awhile back for $17,877. Thoughts? Has anyone ever thought of building one? Let the flaming begin.

I give respect. It takes b@lls sort of like going to a harley rally on a moped. I recently picked up a purple starlet tank bike for the racks and headlight to put on my american. I would take it out on the town in a heartbeat.

About 7 I got my first bmx. At 12 (1987) my dad got me a gt performer that I still have. At 16 got a license and forgot about bikes completely. This past may pulled a 1984 se henderson out of the trash sold it and it's all over. Probaly have about 20 bikes now from yardsales ads etc. Keep the...

Well I passed for $50. The chrome was pretty much all shot. Tires were shreaded. I usually have a soft spot for these old neglected bikes but it didn't really grab me.

Thanks for the responses. I printed out the serial numbers and I am going to look tomorrow. I need another bike like I need a hole in the head so unless I can get a good deal I"ll probaly pass. If I get it i'll throw up some pics.

Nice find love the colors. I recently missed a nice for on the local craigslist for $30 someone snatched it up quick. Another one sold for $120 here pretty quick.

First off all nice build. I enjoyed the story. I just started volunteering with the lions clubs fixing up bikes people donate for charity. It's nice to be able to give back enjoying something you also like to do.

Thanks for the reply. Looked around on the web some more but still couldn't find much information. The pic he sent me shows a cantilever frame. I found some older speedliner photos from the early 50's that had a different style frame . Do you know if and what year they changed frames or could...
