Monark Bicycles

Monark Silver King Inc. (formerly Monark Battery Co.) created some of the coolest bikes of the balloon tire era. Most sought after are the aluminum models, such as the Flocycle and Wingbar. One of the most popular models during the late 1940's and 1950's was the Monark Super Deluxe. Monark continued making bicycles into the middle-weight era, with some very stylish models. People often confuse "Monarch" with "Monark". Monarch was a bicycle company from the 1890's era and not related to Monark in any way.
