    Great job. Love the Campagnolo drop outs. Wish I could read your blog. Coincidentally, I just finished redoing a bike in almost the same color. I’ll be submitting it as soon as I can take some photos. Cheers.

    Hardest in building this bike was finding parts and information – Monark’s never sold in Estland. We have form 40-80’s only bikes from soviet lands – from Russia, Ukraina, Latvia and Lituania. Multispeeds all from Ukraina, from Kharkov factory… but 10-speeds was only racers with tubular tires. “Usual” old multispeeds with 3, 4 or 8 speed.
