Anyways, 1947 Monark Super deluxe, this is what it looked like when he brought it home... i just finished the restoration, which included tearing the whole thing completely apart, sanding, priming, painting, plating, etc etc etc. I have pics of the entire process but figured you people could only have the attention span for a before and after. So I finally got the plated parts back on Saturday and was able to finally put her back together. meet my new old bike, Sylvia!

So smooth and comfortable. the bearing were still good which I was amazed by, especially since for the past 10 years it was sitting in a flower bed outside.

Posts: 6698 (08/03/09 8:20 AM) Baby Pees Reply Quote More Recent Posts	Merkyl thanks guys! It's for riding and admiring. As for how much to restore, I thankfully have great network of friends that helped me. One friend did all the plating for nothing, which would have cost me about $1,000. then my dad's buddy painted it for me for nothing, which would have cost me about $500. I had to add some missing parts, like the rear rack and the light. I'm still looking for an original "train light" for the front though. and it needed new tires and rims, but eventually I will redo the ones that came with it so it's all totally original. but that will be when I have some extra cash.
