SCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORE!!!!!!!!

very nice!
 
I think this is the first time I've seen a stick shifter on a lightweight bike.

I'm guessing that someone either robbed it off a Sting-Ray or they actually bought it as an accessory from the Schwinn store.

Anyone else seen this done before?

its a smooth handle shifter, where the shifters available as accessories when they first came out ?

Looks like they were in 1968...which is when they started making the Deluxe Racer in Campus Green I think.

If it did come on the bike as an accessory that would be the coolest...hate to see it parted out.

but they started using the ribbed handle shifters on early-mid 67 stingrays/fastbacks, still doesnt rule out a leftover accessory that got smacked on there though.

nice to see it on a racer too, very fitting :mrgreen:
