Yay! I found the bell crank.

Everyone is very busy on their builds, I enjoy reading them! I, also have been busy searching through the basement for parts to complete my build. Found: Bottom bracket cups, bearings, nuts, etc. Head tube, all parts too. Stem Crank Pedals Seat post clamps (couple to chose from) Many brake...

I do have one of those twin stick Sturmey shifters, but I will not be using that. I did make the modified shifter years ago, then I used the three speed side, on this Schwinn Street Series XL. So I will be making another twin Schwinn Stik shifter for this build. I will document it completely.

Well I am old, in cancer remission, but still kicking. Hopefully I can complete this build if I can find all the parts I squirreled away over the years. This frame started life in 1965 as a Typhoon, will now sport a more fitting name. I repainted this frame 20 years ago. Originally black with...

One of my muscle bikes, 1976 Swingbike. Got it as a basket case, just the frame pieces and the latch. Added a few custom parts including the longer seat post so I could ride it comfortably.

There is an EBAY seller that has a frame I would like to buy, but they will not ship it. The frame has been listed for weeks and I guess no one nearby wants it. I sent the seller a message about shipping, no reply. I will gladly pay the shipping and your time.

Rick, don't you want to keep the seat at least until your ride on Cinco de Mayo? It's part of the bike's heritage. Treat it with some mink oil. That will soften the leather and keep it from cracking.

Nice score for your dream bike! Walmart sold these adult Street Series Stingrays. They were poorly boxed, shipped packaged upside down, 6 on a pallet. Many were slightly damaged so Walmart cut the price at our local store to blow them out. Walmart also had the first available chrome and red...

Only more suitable for someone with way more disposable money than I. The first one is the way better deal!

This Stingray looks like a 1998 reproduction model. The '98's had the most correctly constructed frames of all the repos made.

Welcome to the forum Daniel. Just so you know, we like pictures.

Very cool model Rick! Curious, how much would you sell a bike like that at your Co-Op?

I would call or contact Rustoleum and tell them your experience with their new product. Feedback is usually well received. Always be positive, like: "I have been using your products for years, first time I've had an issue...." You may get compensation.

That is a Shimano 333 shifter. Do the old Shimano 3 speed hubs have a date stamping like the Sturmey hubs?

No, I think they call it gummy bears now.

I don't have, or will ever have, the bikes and parts you have, but I do have the wooden machinist tool box on the work bench. It belonged to my father.

Reading this thread I see there are some knowable Stingray members. I too have been reading and learning about the Stik Shifts used through the 1966 to 1973 years. About the 1968 Stingray frames, yes 3 different that year. The first year for the Stik Shifter, 1966, 3 speed only. So 2 frame...

The one thing you know for sure, that "parts bike" got ridden a lot. Oh, if only that bike could talk...

Buy a Travelall and put the GM LS drive line in it. You could use any GMT 800 series platform for parts. Keep that beautiful Yukon XL stock for now. Eleven Internationals for sale 1962 IH There are still some cornbinder Travelalls around for sale. Your Yukon with the IH front would be...

The "Don Garlits" what a great name for a muscle bike! For those readers that don't know, Don Garlits (Big Daddy) was the first drag racer to pass 200 MPH in the 1/4 mile. Then again 200 MPH in an 1/8 mile. The wheelie bar is a perfect accessory for your grandson's bike. The original Whamo...
