My Wal Mart Schwinn Stingray

[sking1973]

I have a blue wal mart Krate, its a great bike for $80. I really don't like wal mart quality, but this has been a great bike- do keep the seats out of sunlight though, mine turned yellow really fast (kept indoors- heated garage) and is still yellowing.

I noticed he same thing on my green WM bike, the seat is turning yellow. I actually have my bikes in a heated basement with very little sunlight. Cheap vinyl I suppose. Kind of a bummer though.

I'm guessing these things aren't available from Wal Mart any more.

Nope on the bay usually marked up double what they were paid for.

I converted my $69 BFK to a five speed with vintage Krate parts and a year later it still rides great and it is definitely the best $69 I ever spent on a new Schwinn.

The cool thing about a Wal-Mart Schwinn Stingray is that you can customize it without much worry; unlike an original, where one wouldn’t even think about “cold-bending” the frame.

Easily, the best use of $69-dollars ever!!!

I picked up this walmart Stingray frame and seat for $35 from a guy who bought it for its parts to put on a vintage Stingray frame. I have since sold the seat for $25 making the frame only $10. Anyway, the springer is a Lowrider brand, the wheels came from a Bike Friday and had a 6-speed on there. I didn't want to cut the axle down in case I ever wanted to use it as a 6-speed again, the hub is a Sachs with a drum brake that has been hooked up since these pics were taken. The rear slick is a Duro brand. Crank and chain ring came off a Varsity and I just removed the outer, larger chainring.

I just found the owners manual from when I bought mine and it still had the Walmart receipt for $59 , pretty cool. I also have an extra owners manual if anyone is looking for one . let me know.

I remember walking through a super walmart in spartanburg sc past the bike section in '08. Out of the corner of my eye I seen a black one and thought ah cool they're reproducing them. I regret nit going over n checking them out. I was broke anyhow so not like I could of got one. What was the non sale price on these at Wally world?

 

[johnp.smith]

My black one posted above is available in Denver if anyone is interested, The seat was sold but I have the rest of it shown in the pictures. Speedo is not a stingray speedo, its just an old schwinn speedo and I do not have the rest of the parts for it.
