Schwinn Sting-Ray, the first years

[RPOLS3]

Our Original paint Stingray as shown in 2012 with the Chevelle at MCACN.

Initially it was mine, then Dave had it, then it went to a friend of the family, and years later we got it back when our son was born and he rode it for a while before out growing it. Had to source some replacement bits before MCACN but mostly original and lots of patina.

Not sure if those "brick" front tires were used on any other make, but we always thought it was Schwinn only and since my oldest sister was the only one with a Schwinn, it wasn't cool. We boys had Huffy or Sears. That mentality all went caput later when they started showing up at school with gear shift levers on the top bar.....my we were embarrassingly trendy.
