So when I was a kid we had a family friend who was in to vintage bikes. This guy had one of those barns full of old bikes(wish our families were still friends...). His sone had a supersweet Stingray and I always wanted one... Well, 15-20 years later, I finally got myself a musclebike. It's not a stingray, but then again I'm not really a Schwinn guy... Here's my Murray. All I know about it is it has a metallic Riviera sticker on the headstock. All I've done is swap out the back wheel which was a Schwinn 5 speed Fastback wheel being run as a single speed for a coaster-braked one with a whitewalled slick(thanks tnt1). Not sure if the front brake will stay or not... But it is for now. I'm also planning on fenders and maybe trying to find a longer crankset for it... It feels silly riding it with the short ones it has on it right now... But I finally got a musclebike! Oh Yeah!

I sold my 1970 Purple Single speed Sears Spyder about half a year ago, it is being restored I was told...

I miss it a little bit, it was a fun bike. Nice looking Murray!
