I picked this up at my local goodwill outlet for $15. I figured I could flip it for a little profit. Then my niece came over and took the bike for a ride. She fell in love with it and asked if she could have it. So I did some research on removing paint. Took a trip to Lowe's to pick up some...

Beautiful bike. What's on the handlebars? Looks like an aftermarket light of some sort.

Hair peroxide will remove the yellow tint time has left on the wheels. Do an Internet search on how to remove yellow from plastic. I don't quite understand the chemical process but you paint the wheels with peroxide then leave them in the sun for a few days per side. When you're done just...

I found this bike on the goodwill auction website. Problem was the bike was in Tucson I'm in Indianapolis goodwill doesn't ship. So I asked a couple friends in the area to pick up the bike. I had it all worked out but my friend was only available weekends and goodwill isn't open on weekends...

Too bad you didn't find this 30 years ago. The tractor is really neat. I hope it gets restored at some point.

Get some hair peroxide to whiten those wheels. The stuff is a paste you brush on. Set the wheels in the sun for a day or more per side. This will take the yellow out of the wheels. Bleach will not remove the yellow. Different set of wheels same results. Here's the stuff. I got it off the...

Nice score.

The serial number doesn't work for a stingray. My guess is someone took an earlier 20" frame from a typhoon then built it up to look like a stingray which was the thing to do back in the day. Nice find. 20" springers are hard to find.

Swallow ;)

I saw a posting on the bmx forum advertising the st Louis show. It is January 25th. I hope to make it there just depends on the weather.

The Indiana show is the 24th. Typically st Louis is the next day. I haven't seen anything posted yet about it though.

Awesome bikes! I love the torpedo head badge. How do you find this stuff?

Anyone on here in Tucson willing to pick up a bike from Goodwill and ship it to me in Indianapolis? The auction ends 12/15. Goodwill will not ship the bike. I can paypal you for shipping/packing. Thanks Pat

Sounds like a good deal. I look forward to seeing the pictures.

Nice bike. I just missed out on an apple krate.

Beautiful bike. Awesome snowy owl too. I personally like white wall tires.

When I was a kid I was dying to get a GT Performer in powder blue. I wanted this bike so bad I could taste it. Of course it was way too expensive so for Christmas I got a 87 Schwinn Predator. Man I was disappointed. So a few years ago I finally picked up my dream bike...well sort of. I did...

Gorgeous bike. My favorite color too. I'm so jealous.

It is a stingray. Just a different model. All fastbacks are stingrays but not all stingrays are fastbacks.

Looks great.
