sting ray bmx restore in process

[heartlandcruisers]

ok so i was seriously mistaken to believe this was a scrambler
when i was ordering parts i found out just exactly what she is
1980 sting ray 2 frame
that explains some of the parts that came on it originally like the ashtabula forks which i sold and the s wheel from the 80's
so with that being said im an idiot an i apologize for mistaking this for a scrambler.
so moving on.... lol
i am gonna use all the parts on it as we speak just gonna paint her and recondition the parts
i took her on a track and she did well spite me wiping out on every corner
next time shes seen she will be in like new condition im hoping
i have some dia comp brakes for the back and am lo0king into some old school motocross tires that are in better shape

the front sprocket is gonna be the original mag sprocket im thinking for better performance.
other then those mods and rechroming the front fork shes gonna be the same as she is here.
im 39 And these old schoolers are what i raced as a kid lol

Sweet, I like it. Just finished a similiar build myself, though I don't think mine will see too much track time

heya pjbjr413
thanks yeah i didn't plan on much track time with her i just wanted to see what she had
for an old schooler she held her own against a 2010 ( i think ) redline that was pro track built
so she did ok except the cornering ad being a lil heavy on the jumps
so when i restore her shes not gonna see much track time too old to race now both rider and bike lol
thanks for posting and show me yours id like to see it these stings are nice as bmx
