The piston rod idea for a seat support was a good one, things like that add to it.

So what about that rear end? Why is the bottom bracket so low and the rear drop-outs so much higher than the bottom bracket? Maybe you just wanted to lower the entire bike. Hmmm.???

I like the way the add for the drag chute spells the words, "customized," and "cool" with a "K." Along with "comes, crazy and colors." Schwinn used the "kool" word.

It's kind of like a "gag piece." Wouldn't want it on my bike all the time, just for show.

Ooooooooooh! "Your bad" on that one, Crash. Don't feel bad, I gave up a pair of Tiger Grips that I never will forgive myself for.

Ziggy: I dig the heck out of that back tire. Wish they made it all the way up to a four inch slick style tire. Yours has a tread design on it, but I would also like to see it in a slik style. I have added a 20 X 3.0 tire to a 1999 Schwinn Stingray, it was a tight fit also, but just like in your...

I own two 2005 Manta-Rays, one which I'm using for parts on other bikes and extra parts for the first one I bought that had a messed up fork on it. What I want to do is take the back wheel and tire off the one I'm using for parts and put it in front. Only thing is, I need the right fork for the...

That frame idea is very good. Definitely works for me. Nice lookin'!

Glad I'm already past my kickstand phase. I recognized right away that the kickstand retainer pin was in upside down. Since I only have a Schwinn type kickstand remover, I ended up having to use a lock washer in order to make the kickstand go in far enough for the retainer pin to go in without a...

I had the same problem with the speedo on my 73 Orange Krate. The moving part inside the speedometer was caked with old dried up oil, so it was hard to turn and was causing the cable to bind. I put some oil in a little hole that is found on the threaded part of the speedo where the cable...

Looks great so far, Crash. It's the little things that cost the most time.

LOL! Yeah, right, Crash. I'm sure your wife would be pleased. Ha! Ha!
