On Training Wheels
Hi
Thanks for the add. I've recently picked up a ladies bike on 26in wheels. It's badged as a Firestone Warrior. It's in fairy rough but solid condition. I live in the UK and early US stuff is really hard to find. I'm interested and n restoring it back to as close to original as I can get it. I've got a few Schwinns (a 59 Hollywood my wife rides) a cruiser deluxe anniversary ( my everyday bike) and assorted other two wheeled things the kids ride. I'd love to find the original paint scheme. It seems to have been dark blue with cream at the headset.
I believe they were built by Columbia and others and badged for tire stores. Interestingly the rear tyre is a Fisk Deluxe.
Just found the serial no. under the bottom bracket 8292FRW. It could be FBW
Are there any resources anybody knows of where I could find some history.
The coaster works fine although the spokes are shot.
Any help would be greatefully received.
Cheers
