**No back stand, no lights or rack, fenders and pedals are not original, steel handlebar, not the winged stem - – nice saddle though.
#MONARK SILVER KING BICYCLE VALUE WINDOWS#
This model is particularly interesting and strange have open “ windows ” in the lugs. Silver King besides developed a monthly payment design, making their purchase a piece more palatable for natural depression era consumers on a tight budget. Their alone style and sparkle weight made them extremely appealing. Monark began building aluminum bicycles under the name Silver King in the 1930s and continued their production into the 1950s. The designers must have had fun going from batteries to bicycles. Lights, head tubes, rear stays, bottom brackets. There are quite a few art deco affect on all of the aluminum models from Monark Silver King. Monark was a unique ship’s company that had its start as a battery manufacturer from the early separate of the century. This ladies bicycle has the ternary step Lobdell rims, window lugs, and hocky stick holed chainguard. Year is most likely 1935 – Monark only built the windowless lugs in 1935. This bicycle has been tuned before it was placed on display 25 years ago, but could possibly need another. very cool bicycle and with a little tender loving care and elbow grease would make for a great project motorcycle. The motorcycle is rideable but will require some small drive aim tuning/lubricating to get back to fully operational. Both front and rise are fully functional. Tires do match but are not original, they are in effective condition however. The zigzag is the original crank and the block pedals appear to be the a small girls pedal from the 50 ‘s, and are very wear. The fenders have several dings and dents, and a actually badly silver paint. The bicycle is largely master except that the fenders are not. aesthetically the frame is in reasonably good condition and has a nice patina from over the years. Aluminum tubing constructed using “ mushroomed ” tubes and chromed sword fork blades win no abeyance. It was probably worth a max 250 to anyone else.This is a vintage 1930 ‘s Monark Silver king Ladies Bicycle. I just sold a bare polished boys frame with seatpost, shim and badge for 200 to a buddy.no big deal. Keep an eye on ebay, there are a lot of frames available for rat bikes in the 150-200 range, it is the complete, restored original bikes that are worth a lot of money. If the guy with the frame thinks he has a gold mine, then good luck. Be careful, these frames are brittle and don't take abuse too well. That is how they get $$$$$$, they spend $$$$$.Īnd what do you mean by "The chain stays were removed, but looked fine." The chainstays are not removable unless they are broken. The kickstand (missing-under bottom bracket) goes for 100-150 and the missing battery tube, horn button and wiring add another 200. There is over 500 just in chrome (rims, crank, stem) maybe 100-200 in pedals. The bike in the picture has over 1000, maybe 1500 in parts like restored tool box seat, aluminum rack, horn light and tail light, fenders, etc. If it is a hex tube bike, like I stated before, that bike is a post war aluminum frame and used 26" rims. 26" will fit on a Monark but they are typically too big to fit with the original fenders.although there have been a couple of bikes put together with 26" and fenders but it has to be the right tire and perfect fenders. There was a prewar Elgin Gull that was aluminum and used 26" but they are very hard to find (1 year only).
If it is a round tube, prewar Monark, then it had 24" rims.period. So again, depends on condition and what, if any of the hard to find parts are included.
#MONARK SILVER KING BICYCLE VALUE PLUS#
Bare girls frame is now for sale for 50 or with rims and fenders and toolbox seat for 200 plus ship.Īn ebay seller had an unpolished fair condition boys bare frame and a girl's almost complete bike for parts listed with a 250 minimum bid and no takers-he listed it a couple of times. Last girl's frame I bought for parts for the above frame cost me 150. It was a bare frame only though and missing Monark specific stuff like seatpost and shim, badge, fork, truss rods, key for locking stem, seized axle adjusters.like I said-bare frame. Was a frame only, in good shape and had a good polish job done to it. The last 38 boys frame I purchased was 175. The pre war bikes were 24" aluminum and the post were steel with the exception of the post war 26" Hex Tube bikes.I assume you are asking for info on a prewar aluminum bike so here is my take based on some recent adventures. Like the last post said, thread doesn't say enough.
