Schwinn stingray of any type!
Not a wanted request, just interested :daumenhoch:
-
Got my son one of the new ones when they came out about 7yrs ago and its in the loft only been ridden a couple of times he really didn't like it :(
-
I nearly had Nick but it unfortunately isn't. :-[ Thought it was a Scrambler/Stringray, got it last month for the budget build off, decided against it now as it aint a Schwinn.

Early 70's at a guess Ash, guy in the bike shop had no idea what he had!

Too busy with some bloke drawing on my shirts I guess

Nick was the fella who did kick turns on a GJS late 70s that went on to become quite well known for tricks on a BMX
I'm kickin me self as my mums neighbour has a removal firm
In late 70s he moved an American family to my area who gave him a bike as a thank you /tip
This bike has sat in his storage since then , he recently asked me if I wanted it as he knew I was into BMX
I wasn't really feeling the BMX vibe at that time but went for a peek just to keep him chill & told him it wasn't what I ride & left it there
Well now I'm feeling the vibe again I asked him if he still had it but sadly he dumped it
This is the hard part it was a Stingray with BMX modifications
I know I must hang my head in shame for not taking it
