Re: radio astronaut wagon build This is so cool! I need to build one for my son!

There is no way that cylinder would need 170psi to lift a bicycle and rider. A fullsize pickup maybe, or a large car, but not a bike. It looks great though. Would love to build something similar myself.

Hey all. My name is Dave, and I'm from Queensland in Australia. I was given 2 of these Schwinn Stingrays about 5 or 6 years ago. They were both missing parts, and really rusty but I kept them anyway thinking I'd do something with them one day. I ended up giving one away, and keeping the best...
