Firestone hodge podge

[HooliganZ]

Just picked this up. Yes its a miss match of parts but I dig the bike itself. What I do know is its a Firestone frame. Is there anyone who can show me what the chain guard for this frame "Should" look like?

Very nice find. 8)

If you do a google search for 'Firestone Super Cruiser', you will find images of the bike with the correct chainguard. Looks like your bike currently has a Rollfast guard.

Sweet find!
If you look around here on rrb you'll see a gaggle of " mis-match " bikes.
It's the new black
LOOKS PERFECT TO ME! 8) :wink:

While your FRAME may be badged as a Firestone it is actually a Monark DeLuxe frame. Monark built bikes for Firestone back in the day so when Pops went to buy tires for the old Edsel,Junior could beg for a cool new bike.Great starting point for you though...tanks were made for this bike & original parts are plentiful but rising in price as Monarks are becoming more & more popular...I have a half dozen of them or so...If you look on the bottom bracket there should be a small tag riveted to the bottom...post the serial number & we can see what year it is...hope this helps & good luck with your build...Pappy 8)

Definitely some good info to have.

The bottom tag serial number is A1112397

Sweet ride, is that seat wrapped in leather?

 

[HooliganZ]

Yes, it has a short leather Banana seat

Cool find, I like it just the way it sits. Maybe some fatter tires or drop it on some 24x3's and it would be an awesome rat rod.
