What's up guys and gals, i'm Matt from Charleston, SC. Friend of mine got me into vintage schwinn's and lets just say the bug bit hard, I bought my first ( a coppertone stingray fastback 5-speed ) last week and yesterday picked up two 1970 stingray stardusts, im waiting on the rain to pass to take some pictures of them, but ill be sure to post. I live in Charleston, SC right by the beach, I look forward to learning and helping when I can.

Here are some pics I took, im taking more as we speak....

Well it's good to see others somewhat close!

Bob, the blue stardust you see in the background im planning to sell, PM me if you want some details (you could buy a 3-speed or coaster fastback frame and switch it all over and make a fastback out of it)

With 3 of us here from SC perhaps one day we can organize a ride. Of course with 7000 members there might others from around here besides us.

Let's try to get together some time in June for a ride then. My wife has been wanting to ride around Charleston too. Everywhere but up the Ravanel Bridge that is.
