1948 Firestone New Year's Day build.

Nice job, there would be many more bike's in the world if everyone with part staches would put some back together as they were made to be riden. But I guess it's easier to store parts than whole bikes. Thanks for posting your build. Happy New Year.

I am really warming up to these Monarks. Make mine a Super Deluxe in Gumby Green, please.

One of my favorites also! I've owned a Firestone, a Monark and a Super Twin in that color. I still have the Monark and the Twin.

Cool bike and great idea! Would be neat to “mark” all your annual NYD bikes with something for posterity.

I am really warming up to these Monarks. Make mine a Super Deluxe in Gumby Green, please. Been a strictly Schwinn guy for decades now…

To be honest, I think the faded out maroon has some character to it and I think it came out really awesome. Nothing some whitewalls wouldnt help!
