This thread is dedicated to the early Schwinn Sting-Ray only, no off brands please.
If you happen to have a legitimate (63-73) Schwinn Sting-Ray example please share. Original paint Survivors are most welcome. Anything that pertains to the 60’s is my desire. It could be European made, or American made because that era was the best IMO. An example of the best that took the bicycle world by storm was the Schwinn Sting-Ray introduced in May of 1963. Schwinn engineers and designers took a gamble on this sporty Sting-Ray hoping it would sell. Needless to say they could not keep them in stock, sales records went through the roof. I have a couple ‘63, but I will share the year of 1964 because that’s the year of all hands on deck for the first “full year” of the New Schwinn Sting-Ray. Below is a cool ‘64 article in The Schwinn Reporter showing Bike Rite in El Monte California.

I feel dissed. What about us poor kids who couldn't afford a Schwinn?
I am kidding of course, so hopefully no one is bent.

Schwinn bikes bring back fond memories. My parents challenged me to get good school grades and I could get a Schwinn . I picked a blue 3 speed Sting Ray. Had a banana seat and tall sissy bar! I rode the heck out of that thing.
Would love to see your collection, looks awesome! |

In 1964 I had a Coppertone Stingray. Sadly, it was stolen.
