Subject: [CR]Monark Crescent (I think) Question

Just bought this bike at a garage sale. I was wondering if it might be a reproduction because the other pictures I've found online show a lugged frame while this one is welded. Also, it has a dramatically raked fork. (Did they make a tourer?)

The number stamped on the BB is 4495206. (if that helps at all) The decals look like the others I've seen on the web - VARLDSMASTARCYKELN, Crescent, the wrap-around head badge, etc.

Pics are posted @ http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/belgiumtour2004/album?.dir=8841&.src=ph

Any help would be appreciated. I'm not really interested in doing a restoration or anything, I just liked the orange paint job & thought I'd convert it to a single speed.

Thanks,
