SOLD THE 76 STING-RAY TO....

[Rat Rod]

This is kind of a cool deal.

I listed the red 3 speed 76 Sting-Ray on the CL last week and I had a guy call me from Austin.

Turns out he is Cash Mathews....a pro BMX rider from the 70s who used to race for Mongoose.

He was recently inducted into the American Bicycle Assoc. Hall of Fame and he is one of the pioneers of BMX.

He was even in the movie Joe Kid on a Sting-Ray.

He might be coming up this Thursday to pick up the bike....cool stuff!

I'll ask him and see what he says.

He's a super cool guy and he'd be probably be up for it if he knew it was for the forum.

very Cool!!!!

I have a 77 Nickel Goose...a 79 Chatsworth Goose..and an 81 All Tubes Chromoly Supergoose.

Very cool you have a Chance to meet him Steve...

tell him I said " Thanks for helping change the sport, buy doing what he Loves "

The Late 70's was when BMX came into itself, and took off like a Rocket.

he was part of that....

Kev.
