If it is the brake type, would it be the pedal brake or? Just trying to sort out if this bike is missing brakes as well.

Indeed- my rental policy covers our belongings from theft. I will ha e to call and find out how they calculate value. But if it does not match the actual value, that would be the a reason for purchasing a rider.

Thanks for all the replies. It is not as appealing to me if it is not actually a stingray.

I realize this photo is terrible, but it is the only one posted. I sent a message to confirm if it was still available for purchase- but would appreciate thoughts on what the max price is you might buy this stingray for- It is near the right in the photo- between other bikes and I can see it...

Good call on the insurance. I will confirm my existing policy covers and if not, look into available policies.

Well hello neighbor! :wink1: I have definitely caught the bike bug. I am eager to get the first one going. Since I picked up the AMF spirit bike that has all original parts and I am forcing myself to hold off on any of it- until the first bike is well in its way!

Everyone here is amazing! Thanks for the photos and thoughts. I agree, The two lever option is confusing. We are most certainly missing any sort of shifting mechanism and of cable. As well as any external brake system, assuming there should be one (but again, I am a newbie- basing my...

What is the best method (other then constantly in our sight) to ward off would be thieves? I was curious if anyone used the chip tagging system. Similar systems are used for pets, a micro chip is placed under the skin and a chip wand reads the number. Then that is correlated to the owner/...

Picked this up today. The basket holds no interest for me. I have to see how it cleans up to decide if I want to keep the Evil K/ Americana theme.

Stunning and inspiring!

I think that is present. I will get some close ups of that area

I think the plan is to keep the majority of existing parts- including the handlebars. So open to what would look best, as well as be in line with that style.

I will have to check the garage where we stored this, but I don't recall seeing any shift mechanism of parts. When I Google search, It returns a 3 speed click stick. Is that what I need to look for?

But it does not necessarily need to be rebuilt, or does it? Very helpful- I have a base understanding now. I watched the video - certainly an involved process. I will address some of the other things before I tackle it.
