    My nearly monochromatic blue collection.

    I got it new from Angry Dave’s bikes here locally. He’s also my wheel builder. I really wanted the Sparker Special when I came out but missed out on it

    Anybody got one of the new Orange Krates or coal krates? I have a question

    I figured it would be easier to get the whole wheel from them than to buy all the parts separate and have them built. I have a shop that could do it but I’d rather try to get it first.

    Flashback Stingray

    At the beginning of 2013 I built a charcoal ‘70 stingray for a 3 way stingray build off on this site. Sold it years ago but missed it ever since. Picked up this ‘80 to build up raked up like my past one. It was pink tho... Went ahead and primed it and mocked some parts up. Gotta get a thin...

    1970 Schwinn ?? NOS copper tone replacement frame.

    I’ve had this kicking around for a while and wondered what it could have been a replacement for, as I don’t see copper tone available for 70. Looks like it’s never had a wheel in the dropouts. I don’t plan to keep it as I have so many other projects.

    Anybody got one of the new Orange Krates or coal krates? I have a question

    I’m currently building a replica Grey Ghost and want the drum brake front 16in wheel with the alloy rim. I contacted Schwinn to buy one and they said it was bicycle specific and I would need a serial number and date code off of one. It obviously isn’t specific so can anybody help me out?

    FOUND Grey ghost or chrome 70s stingray chainguard

    Building a replica grey ghost out of a stingray I have. Looking for a chainguard for it. Does not have to be perfect as the frame is a beat up silver mist hurricane5

    Stingrays Only! (Early scramblers and hurricanes too!)

    My other 2020. Also with sprocket power upgrade. Love the green on these. Use this to go between the two buildings at work. (Main office down the street) it makes every day better.

    Stingrays Only! (Early scramblers and hurricanes too!)

    1979 vs 2020. For 125 these ‘20s were a steal. Also looking back on my og post with the 1979 it looks like it got darker? Wonder if I’m storing it wrong. Anyways :cool: handlebars a way taller on the new rig. Also gave it a power upgrade with a new sprocket.

    Speedster and a Breeze together forever

    Found these at an antique store for more than I wanted to pay. Offer half the price just for the speedster and the guy said take both they are in the way and have never been apart.

    Back again haven’t been on since 17

    Got a new job and found a 65 Schwinn racer to get between buildings. Sold off several bikes and was pretty much out of bikes til the racer came along. Had pretty rough job at the time. But a few bikes I had sold off came back to me for free in derelict condition and got me started all over...
