Surprise...I'm building a Firestone. I thought the name was a nice play on the Fire in Firestone. I figure a bike that's name is loosely translated to "On Fire" will push me to build something really special...besides, if I fail miserably, I can always set it on fire. Knowing you guys, that might actually get me more votes!
I have a bunch of ideas banging around in my head, but what I know for sure is that there were will be at least some bare metal and it will be hot rod to the core.
The bike is a Monark built Firestone Cruiser. I picked up the frame, badge, fenders, guard, stem and bars at Memory Lane for $20.
I have always liked these frames
Not the super deep fenders, but these are in really nice shape and might look good on fire.
