Firestone Warrior Flea Market Find

[Uncle Shish]

Picked up this Firestone Warrior this Memorial Day. It's been painted somewhat sloppily but the bike, overall, looks pretty solid. Not sure how much has been changed as I haven't found too much on this yet. Obviously, the pedals and grips are not original and there are mount holes in both the front and rear fenders. The front, I'm sure was for a headlight, the rear, maybe a rack?

That's what I thought, too! It was unique enough that for $40 I wasn't going to pass it up!
The rear triangle makes it for me.

I don't think any code has been figured out for Snyder serials for the late 50s and on. That style frame was made from ~'59...and Snyder stopped making bikes ~'76...so, sometime in that range .

Since I was born in 71 that’s what year it would be. [emoji41]
