64 Stingray Deluxe Original

[rarebmx]

My first original paint & seat 64 in 15 years collecting. I've had an original paint 65 Violet Deluxe & a repaint Flamboyant but loving this Sky Blue. Picked it up at Krate Fest in Chicago this weekend.

Added some streamers & flag caps I had lying around

I haven't decided yet if it fits in my collection or not yet.

It doesn't fit at all. I'll PM you my address.
Seriously cool find man. I have a sky blue 66 2 speed. My favorite bike right now.

Thank you? Been collecting a long time though. Collected Krates back in the 90's, then moved to BMX for almost 10 years, now back to muscle bikes.

Slap a blue band 2-speed on that bike and it will be the centerpiece of your collection. Gary

This one already has the original & correct Red Band. Been kicking around selling all the bikes, new baby girl on the way.

There were 3 types of Automatic Hubs, identified by band color: Red, Yellow, and Blue bands. The Red Band was made 1960-1964. The Yellow and Blue Bands were made 1965-1969.

The red and yellow band hubs have a low gear: 1 sprocket turn for .67 hub turn to go up hills easier. High gear is 1:1. The hubs would go on bikes with 26" and 24" wheels. They were also used on bikes with 20" wheels and 46-teeth sprockets. The red and yellow hubs have some different parts in them that won't interchange.

The blue band has 1:1 low gear, and high is overdrive: 1 sprocket turn for 1.5 hub turn. These are used on bikes with 20" wheels and 36-teeth sprockets to go further on flat roads.

Nice score, and congrats on the baby girl! Time to start collecting girls bikes!

I've got a '72 all original 1-owner Fair Lady I pulled out of a barn just waiting for clean up. My daughter is going to love it when she's a little older.
