didst thee knowest that there are/were amazonian Monarks?

You might have mentioned it before on some other forum?

But I know there were Monark and Monarch from Chicago

knowledge of the Lusitanian tongue needed to operate?

Don't know about the tongue, but pedals maybe?

should you be replacing tired perch you might wish to consider a model of Tron et Berthet as the manufacturer frequently employed them

have a boxfull of poke-stick Campag anterior mechs...but reside across puddle...and then some

name: it is a fairly minor cycle marque, when another person asked about it looked it up and discovered it to be also a minor deity associated with culinary matters

Perch? I have some very tired perch in my freezer, I will be replacing them with just as tired Lampetra fluviatilis.
Or to perch? But I have no wings despite the airframe frame.
Here is a bicycle with a perch

name: it is a fairly minor cycle marque, when another person asked about it looked it up and discovered it to be also a minor deity associated with culinary matters

Found it now. Swiss bikes and the name is from Jutzler/Velo/Lausanne. Coincidence maybe? The surname is likely a translation from russian.

I know, it's a great forum.

mistaken regarding headset; definitely not Agrati

chainset appears Verot Competition Ref. 52

bottom bracket assembly appears it may be Verot Ref. 34

propstand looks like it might be either Trygg or Shuresta...





Shuresta made an adjustable single arm propstand

unfortunately have no materials from Trygg

wonder if letter L stands for Linkoping, home of Swedish Air Museum

I had to look this up. The letter designates the unit "number" in the flotilla/fighter wing and the color of the letter indicates the division where it belongs. The yellow number is the flotilla/fighter wing number.

Cranks are definitely the No.53 they have the "slots" in the spider arms.
Bottom bracket looks exactly like the No.34.
The kick stand is likely a quite recent addition, I didn't see any markings ´, but its fully aluminium and the leg is riveted to the joint with hollow rivet.
The rear rack only had "VLT" stamped on the mounting plate.

I have not measured the depth of the p-spring cover/cup on the Gran Sport RD, but it is from 53-59 as it has the adjuster for cable tension. No original pulley wheels.
The Titan handlebars have "55" stamped on the botton, so manufactured in 1955?
Hubs are Normandy with Maillard QRs. Weinmann concave on rear, don't know what the front is.
Pedals are Union, I put a thread gauge there but couldn't really tell if 1.25mm or 20tpi. Most likely imperial, they were in tight..

No original bolts for the chain rings. Correct ones are M7 and of course the ones I got were M6...

I have a theory on how the drive side dropout got bend. The bolt in the drive side fender eyelet was facing head in and my guess is that it was first mounted head out and the bolt stuck so far in, so close to the freewheel, that it caught the chain, locked up and made the axle push down on the dropout.

Meinn Gott, those are 630 wheels on the Monark. I have now four sets of 630 that I do nothing with.

round things -

thank you for the information

had been wondering if DCXXII or DCXXX

could tell from images that stern jante concave

catalogue illustration depicts a cykkel with small flange QR mozzi &
states Tullio so am thinking GS bimetal, these are quite costly when they can be found...
if you plan to build wheels and are open to a spot of "poetic license" the Sportman would make a fun choice, its birth annum was MCMLXI



for a real racing machine cerchi would have been tubolari

me guess for OEM would be NISI

MCB fond of Canetti pneumatici

is chainguard NERVAR or be it unmarked?

1968-1972 DBS Super Sport badget as Fennia(old latin word for Finland).
Nervex Professional lugs, crown. Reynolds 531 frame and fork. Huret dropouts. 27.0mm or 26.8mm Titan seat tube.
But this one had 144 BCD Campagnolo Strada crank and Gran Sport rear derailleur like on the better Competition model with same frame.
Got the original 630mm wheels with Nisi rims, Maillard hubs. Brakes were Weinmann Vainqueur 750.
Missing the original Titan stem and bars. The bike was somewhat a barn find, forgotten in a barn, covered with dust and droppings. Custom build for the family that owned the bike shop.
Before I went to pick up the bike I asked if the seller(grandson of the founder of the shop) would still have the original cockpit, he told me that in the 80s when he still used the bike, he wanted to swap the bars to upright bars and promised to look around if he could find them. And when I went to get the bike he said he went to the gas/service station that had sold moped and bicycle parts and whatnot, where he bought the new bars 40 years ago, but to his suprise the building was not there anymore... I don't know if he was really joking, I think their shop still existed at that time so why not get the bars there.
He said that in the 70s they had the first titanium bike in Finland, probably a Speedwell Titalite, in the shop window and that he knew where the bike was now, but it was not for sale.

oy had wunnuh deesa wunza too!

IIRC was able to work out that it was the Competition model and in the same livery as your iron

purchased at a drive-in theatre marche des pousses located in San Jose, California back in the mid-LXXX's

it was fitted with Verot Competition cottered steel chainset 55 and Verot 34 bottom bracket, Huret Allvit gear ensemble, Titan stem/bar set, Weinmann centrepull arrestors, Atom 440 pedals, plain saddle pillar

research yielded a birth estimate of MCMLXVII
