Saw an ad in the local CL for vintage bikes, gave the guy a call and went out to his place today. Saw this Firestone as soon as I walked in the door and couldn't keep my eyes off of it. I got the Firestone and a set of Apes which I put on in the picture. It looks like Firestone and Rollfast made an identical bike at some point as it looks a lot like the one in this thread here viewtopic.php?f=1&t=618&p=3505&hilit=firestone#p3505 minus the tank, mine still has the bracket for it though.
Anyways The huffy I was working on, I ended up blowing a massive hole in the frame doing some welding so I guess its just a good parts bike now
The rear 24" rim has some damaged/missing spokes, whats the best way to go about fixing this? I would imagine the 24" spokes will be a little harder to find and since it is just a coaster brake setup I wonder if it would just be easier to get a whole new 24" rim? Anybody help me out
Heres the pics. Can anyone guess the approx. year. I'll get the serial number in a little bit...
