MISC:   Value - Monark Rocket posted by: Doug on 12/1/2007 at 12:09:58 PM
Can anyone give me any opinions on the value of a Monark Rocket bike? It is a 24" mens, green and white, horn tank, front headlight on fender and rear carrier rack. On the chain guard it has Super Deluxe. Photos can be seen at http://thecabe.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=1731

Thanks for any help!

I'm having problems trying to locate the manufacture or type of bike that a chain guard marked "sonic scout" belongs on. The guard is green on the lower half and white on top with a red pin stripe. Any ideas? Thanks Mike V.
