Here's our second build. We rode both bikes tonight and could only make it a few blocks before people stopped us and cars slowed down. For the "Stingray" logo, we used very old calligraphy font, different for each bike and a local print shop made the decals, which we clear coated once on the...

This was fun. This was a ton of work but worth it and the bike turned out fantastic as well as super light. We get many compliments and people stop their cars to look at it. We are almost done with a second resto-mod and will post those pictures as soon as the 80's sprocket arrives. We used...

Well, I learned the welding on these Huffy's was terrible and prone to snapping off the headset, which mine did as well.

Excellent, I will buy them right now. Could you please send me links to the proper blue anodized aluminum spokes and matching 20 inch front and rear rims that will fit those hubs? I am using a front rim brake and I see the rims differ for that option. Thank you greatly.

What I need is a 20 inch aluminum anodized rear coaster brake rim with a blue anodized aluminum hub, and a matching anodized aluminum blue front wheel with a aluminum blue hub. I located the front wheel in many places; however, the rear anodized aluminum coaster brake wheel is impossible to...

I plan on mounting it on the sissy bar. The tail lights are supposed to be in the mail tomorrow. We'll see if it fits inside the chrome tail light. I'm going to make an aluminum bracket for the reflector so it's mounted directly under the seat.

Pretty much done with building this Stingray. We love the classic retro speedometer and the fact it keeps track of mileage. So far there are 112 miles on the speedometer. Second set of tires and two new inner tubes. I'm waiting on the taillight which I am going to mount a modern day mini led...

My son and I went out for a great 2 hour ride yesterday and the number of people that stopped us to talk about the bikes was amazing. I did not anticipate this. At least a dozen people chatted with us and shared their stories about their Schwinn Stingray or Huffy Cheater Slick. Chinook salmon...

This is where I get all my old school parts and rare items. The owner has a collection of amazing rare bikes. I took some pictures of his rare Stingray bikes for sale. Several of them need paint

Yes, that's it. Anyone have a link to an aftermarket company that sells it.

Does anyone know where to find the aftermarket headlight that came with the Schwinn Stranger Things Mike’s Bike Sting-Ray that I can put on the Schwinn Classic Old School Krate Bike I bought off Amazon? Amazon has a few lights listed but I want to make sure I order the correct one.

By chance do you know what color matches the orange Cheater Slick ? I'm assuming it's a car manufactured paint like GM or Dodge/Plymouth. I need the Modified sticker for the chain guard as well, but no luck with finding that anywhere.

That looks like the bike I just bought today. What year and model is it? I need a chain guard in orange.

Good evening everyone, I picked this wreck up today and have all the original parts from years ago, but I don't have an original matching chain guard. Does anyone know which year and model this is? I believe it is a Cheater Slick Modified. Where I can find an original chain guard and or decal...
