I justify my user name of "Old Skool Mule" by the fact that I actually had the c-o-o-l-e-s-t-!!! Schwinn Stingray when I was a kid in the 1960`s. My parents purchased it new from some dept. store and passed it off as being "from Santa". THE ultimate tough kid bike! My Stingray:stock 3-speed model w/stick shifter on frame,original Schwinn Stingray Green color,cream banana seat and rubber handlebar grips,sissy bar and (of course)matching green tassels on the ends of the white rubber grips. I was the envy of the neighborhood!
Picked up a used Huffy cruiser style bike at a neighbor`s garage sale for $15.00 just as a cheap-o beater bike.My buddy has most of the parts `n pieces I`ll need to make her road worthy again(tubes,tires,reflector set,lights,foam grips).
As there are some solid,well-built,and inexpensive Cruiser-style bikes to be had from Wal-Mart,etc. I`ll most likely keep the $15-wonder as a backup or gift it to someone.It`ll be cheaper and easier to simply purchase either a NIB Ocean Pacific Cruiser,NEXT La Jolla cruiser,or troll craigslist for a new/used cruiser.
Very cool website! Look forward to learning lots from you RatRodBikerz.
