well um thats gay,,,,
I went to Wally World this morning, Saw a Schwinn/Orange County Chopper Bike in the entryway. 4 inch rear tire, drag bars,
riveted seat and a chainthat is 7 feet long. Laughed my ass off.
I rolled it to lay-away, went home and got the wife to bail it out.
That will teach her not to buy me anything for my birthday last Saturday!
It is the second comming of the Sting-Ray!
The told me that they got ten in, sold nine, yesterday, mine was the last.
New pit bike! Be the first on your block!

Anybody know where to get the triple trees for those? I have a minibike project going right now that could use a set.
Not nearly as cool as the original!

Try ebay... Triple tree forks (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...671692775&rd=1)
One of my best bikes growing up. 1969 Schwinn Sting Ray, Gold with a white seat, Huge sissy bar...Loved that bike.
Holy Shit, that's real close. I got it for my 8th birthday or something, was actually scheduled to have my tonsils out in the hospital. My mom let me ride it down the driveway, make a uturn in the street and park it. Next morning I'm goin under the knife. When I wake up, there's my whole family (I"m #5 of 6 kids) lookin over the bed at me. My oldest sister steps forward and says "I wrecked your bike"
I wanted to hurt her...She did some stunt with her friend and bent the front forks at 90 degrees. To this day I have never seen anything like that. My oldest brother took me down and we bought SOLID STEEL forks from the schwinn dealer.
I'm gonna save that picture though, it just looks so close to "rosebud"
In fact, I'm gonna send apic of it to my sister and see if she recognizes it...LOL
Thanks for the pic.
