I have one of the repro's that went through Katrina at the local Schwinn dealer. Got it for free, took it home and rebuilt it. For what it went through its in amazing condition (literally 1 spot of rust on the seat bar and a large patch of surface rust under the front fender). I ride it around sometimes but get tired of teens and twenty-somethings saying stuff like "oh its one of those retro bikes" (i'm 24 btw)
thank good old ralph nader and all the bitch ass kids who busted their nuts on the stick shifts and sued schwinn and other companies making them not use them any more if nt for tha they would still be around today
boys and girls would love to ride Stingray's than the models they ride today. a 20" Mountain bike? That's no fun - but a Stingray, now that's more practical for a kid.
I saw one of these at a local Toy's R us and it brought back memories. I used to have an original in red when I was a kid and traded it for an atari system. :( I think it was going for $125 at TRS.
idk bout those reproduction stingrays iv just gone to find original stingrays, iv got 3 so far

I have one of these bikes and I'm looking to possibly sell it, but I have no idea what it's worth. Brand-new, never-ridden.

5 speed internal hub? Thats awesome stuff right there...although the shifter is such an iconic part of the original.
