no ratting for this schwinn. maybe some stingray accesories but thats about it. i use this to ride from the shop to get lunch just about everyday. i am thinking about getting a repop seat just so that i don't crack the original i am not sure how tough they are. it really is a true survivor bike wish it was a few years earlier with the tall frame mounted shifter but beggers can't be choosers. there are a ton of little differences between the late rays and earlier ones that i am just now learning.

Yeah there is a lot of difference between the older and newer. I am might be getting rid of a 68 stingray parts lot if you might be interested.
