I just saw one in terrific original condition!! Click on 'Historical Articles' then click on 'Silver King' to read more. It was called 'Speed-O-Bike.' And finally, yes, we have a fairly extensive collection of original catalogues, items and information on Hiawatha bicycles too. And Lewis designed and engineered a sidewalk bicycle for children the looked like a motorcycle. He also was the father of Lewis Lightweight Racer bicycles (yes, we have original catalogues on them too). Lewis ANSWER: We have the super-rare original autobiographical book published by George S. My wife's great uncle was the inventor the silver king bike, his name was George S. Will appreciate talking with anyone about Hiawatha and Monark bikes.

The generator and front light are there but need refurbishing. The rest is nice enough to maybe polish and just look at it. The seat and rear wheel are in really bad condition and the front wheel is gone. The front end has a double spring knee action. I believe he bought it at a chain of sporting goods stores in NY named Davega. It had a Green Hornet logo on the tank and the horn made the sound of the Green Hornet's car. The bike was named after the car comic strip character The Green Hornet drove. My father bought me a Monark Black Beauty in 1947 for my birthday. We also have the original catalogues and dealer books for these bicycles. And we have several mint original Monark Super Deluxe bicycles in our collection-including a beautiful 1949 in maroon and a 1950, 19 all in Monark Maroon. We knew many of the people involved in making these bicycles. We even have a large set of the original keys for Silver Kings of the 1930s.

ANSWER: While we don't know of a specific club for Monark enthusiasts, has the largest archive of original Monark and Silver King literature and factory records. I am also interested in Chome or aluminum framed bikes.

This Monark however is the smoothest and fastest heavy weight i have ever ridden.ĭoes anyone know of a club for Monark enthusiasts. I used to race my single speed schwinn heavyweight against bicycles with gears and never got beat. It is absolutly the best riding bike I have ever owned. I have recently purchased a Monark Super Deluxe Bike in the Chicago area.
