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.

Stingray forks were the best for "choppers". Take the solid steel Stingray fork, slip cheesy hollow fork tubes over them, throw the front tire back, walla, chopper! Dangerous as hell but very cool looking

I distinctly remember a deal that was offered to me from my parents, that I needed to pay half. Mowing lawns, raking lawns, whatever it took to get a New Schwinn Sting-Ray. Mission accomplished.
