Riding One Of My Monark Super Deluxe's
Firestones.
Just Jeff
Wore out three sets of tires already!
The main reason I built the wheel set up above in my last post was so I could use the crusty rims for my other CWC project. A 1941 Western Flyer girls bike that desperately needed some crusty painted wheels to match the rest of the bike. Got the rear wheel built today. Straightened and tensioned, and ready to go onto the bike. But it’s lunchtime so I’ll post pics on the bike later...

Riding a '38 Autocycle Deluxe
Thanks Chris. Are they the early "Rayon" tractor tread like mine? I dunno, I hadn't seen any Firestones before except the High Speed Nylons like the 24 inch I have for sale.

Yes, just black walls. But, had a turn of events yesterday, I'll post here.

Well, still have not touched the paint on the Barn Fresh 50 Super Cruiser, really fighting with myself on whether to leave it, or shine it up.
Wanted to even keep the original Firestones on it, and just change the tubes out. After removing the old tires, the beads were just too ate up, and the treads were separating badly! So For Now, I decided to put on a set of new re-pop Chains!
