    What have you been riding lately?

    Oh yeah! I have to say it - I dig the black panther! Beautiful spot you chose there too. I admit, I put a banana seat on everything but that’s really cool like it is.

    What have you been riding lately?

    The last few days I have been riding my ‘78 build. The chainguard says “American” but I don’t think I got it with the frame, it’s just one I got that matched the frame. It has a 3 speed nexus coaster brake hub which I got to work with a Stingray 5 speed stik shift. I’m pretty tall so having...

    Thanks! I need to thin the herd a bit… but I am not really too motivated to do so. 🤣

    Show us them cars!

    My ‘67 Mercury Cougar. It was originally sold in Beverly Hills CA in the first day Cougars were available for sale 10/1/1966. The second owner customized it with wheel flares and body mods. I am the third owner and have rebuilt or upgraded almost everything mechanical on the car. Its a lot of fun.

    67 Schwinn 26 “Stingray” electric conversion

    Would that be a Sears Spyder? The one bike I have that isn’t a Schwinn is a Sears Spyder 10 speed. I had a 5 speed version when I was a kid, but it was too big for me and I got a new bike after a year or two. I don’t actually know what happened to the Spyder. I only know it was called a spyder...

    No, I haven’t done either. I tend to ride in my neighborhood with my dog running along with me (no leash). Bill

    67 Schwinn 26 “Stingray” electric conversion

    This is my ‘67 black Schwinn with a Corvette chain guard I got somewhere. It has a Dillenger off road conversion kit. I had to weld on brackets for the rear disc brake and the battery which wasn’t designed to mount on a stylish curved tube like this old Schwinn. I have a internal brake front...

    I can’t believe I didn’t find this before! I’m 55 and have 10 Schwinns, from an original Apple Krate with the rear disc brake, but mostly 26 inch bikes built like Stingrays. I never repaint them, but upgrade the rear wheels to modern internal gear 3,5,7 speeds with coaster brakes. And I...
