Monark Silver King 5-Bar Bicycle
Great Monark Silver King! Good paint and great accents!
This auction is for a Vintage Monark Silver King 5 bar balloon tire bicycle. This 5 bar is most likely an early 1940's, 1941. Good paint - the red is good but the white - especially on the headtube- is starting to crack. The white spears along the seat tube, downtube, and fork, are in great shape. This bike is in great shape and definitely rideable. This bike is most likely all original.
The only thing that is missing is the horn tank.
