Another Schwinn Stingray Build-up *DONE!*

[SkidMark]

It's a 1975. The fork is Schwinn for a 27" wheel. When I got it, it had been sandblasted and then left outside to rust. I was tempted to clearcoat it, but I wanted something a little cleaner, so it got sanded and flat black Rust-O-Leum. I'm planning a banana seat and ape hangers of course, 20'' rear wheel, and 16" front wheel, and long cranks if they fit. I have a Fair Lady donor bike that I built a long time ago for my g/f's daughter.

Looks good so far.

The longer crank and sprocket should fit no problem.

Laced a SunTour coasterbrake into an aluminum rim, and spray painted it gloss black.

Looks like plenty of room for long cranks.

Lots of room for a big sprocket. This and the higher bottom bracket are two good reasons to use the late model frame.

Still waiting on the donor bike.

Looking good. What's the bike hanging up with the mag front wheel? Almost looks like a home made swingbike.
