Good question! Think I've brought it up 2-3 (billion) times but I don't think I've actually started it in earnest except for the Windows Live Spaces photo essay I occasionally update.

May not matter unless I can put the seat tube back together with the crank housing! The LBS mentioned something and I didn't really get much except the seat was broken (I thought) and two daze later some guy I don't even know pointed it out (errkk!) There is no Monark now--I sold it back to the previous owner at his request when he decided he wanted it back after all, and it was sold out from under him when he went to his dad's funeral and I got it at the local auction. I only asked for the $20 I spent to get it as it would've been gone otherwise and I didn't know he was coming back at the time, and he said that was fair. He and I are both serious about our bikes and he said he knew it was in a good place when we figured it out. I gave him the basket back gratis, it was sold separately and I almost missed it for $5.

I've become attached to this poor bike big time, it's been extremely fun for me--more fun than any bike I've ever owned.
