All fired up...like itSince I think the Monarch is fixed I put the first saddle I was using on the Monarch back on my Flying Merkel Racer. I put the pedals that I was going to use on the Monarch on the Flying Merkel. The original pedals and seat were missing. I put my new wood clinchers on the Merkel as the original rims have tubular cyclocross tires replacing the original single tube tires. I rebuilt the original wheels using new spokes and kept the rest original. A Merkel decal set would cost the same as I paid for the bicycle ($300.00), so that’s not happening. This Is a very rare bicycle brand and the racer model is rarer yet. I’m trying to save the original wood grips, glueing them back together and corking the indent. I got fired up to work on some of my other bicycles by working on the Monarch.View attachment 648566
