[Tim john---]

New guy on the block here. Just signed up to gain knowledge on my old pedal bike. I have my old Firestone GTO bicycle and am looking to narrow down its build date and such, perhaps restoration parts (decals, seat, grips, pedals, tire's, ect.). Can anyone shed light on these for me. My bike is gold in color w/ glittered bananna seat and a short sissy bar, wide chrome handle bars (32") w/ white grips and it is a single speed. Any thought on current value, restored value. Thank You very much for your time.

I had an old Firestone "Green Meteor" musclebike at one time. There should be a serial number on the dropout, I was told that the first number is the year. For instance a "1" would most likely be a 1971. Mine was a "0". Does your bike look similar to this?
