    1980 Schwinn Stingray project $95 or $125 for all (CA)

    Good morning, i'm interested in your frame MINUS the fork ($95). Unfortunately i live in Austin TX. I will gladly pay for the shipping if it isn't too inconvenient for you. You can keep the head badge and pedals. You can get a lot for that head badge is my understanding. Thank you in advance.

    (Pics) First time buyer/Resto...help w/ ID

    Some of the obvious differences are the tires, handlebars, the seat and the lack of the tank. looking at the lighter chainguard looks to be due to inpart that the red is painted onto the chrome (i'm not an expert on the application of paint onto chrome) but checking out your other pics, thats...

    (Pics) First time buyer/Resto...help w/ ID

    Nice find! looks great! i had the same thoughts in terms of the chainguard looking a little lighter than the frame but that could be the picture or just fading. check out the link to the catalog of an original Mark IV. its missing the tank if it indeed is a Jaguar. In any case you got a...

    Schwinn Speedster - FINISHED!

    Sweet ride, it looks awesome!! i'm glad someone else has used bicycle wheel wharehouse! I've got at least 3 sets of wheels that i plan on ordering from them, of course in colors! the only that bums me out is that you can't pick them up at will call.

    Name that Rollfast!

    Thanks! That some good info to know. i just found it interesting that the 2 sets of numbers were A) mirrored B) different text C) & had a funky character. Btw, all this assuming that those are serial numbers. once i get it sandblasted, i'll scope out the rest of the frame for other numbers...

    Name that Rollfast!

    ok, i just measured and yes the holes are 1 7/8" apart along the face of the head tube.
