Hunting Schwinn Stingrays, found in Chicago IL. A very clean original paint, campus green fenderless, verified by local dealer. Cash does talk, a local picker found this bike and after being patient we scored this beauty. And with moral support from Chicagoland Cliff, a good freind we got it. It is so clean i thought it was a resto, even the tires are original. The guy took me thru a very creepy basement, tunnel like area stuffed stacked every where, with a flash light. I thought i was on pickers. Then to a garage blocks away full of stuff. Keep on pickin they are still out there.
 
Had to add sissy bar and reflector bike had after market longer version paint is incredible as are the water transfers
 
Wow Brad, NICE acquisition. That bike is so clean and has all the correct parts. Congrats! I'm jealous!
 
Cliff thanks for the life line saturday !!! I was wacked out from driving on the north side traffic. I cant do much cleaning with the bad finger. But got the sissy bar on it. I look foward to you stopping by.
 
Beautiful. I had a campus green Sting-Ray that was that nice. Maybe nicer. It was under the Christmas tree in '65 or '66. Stolen in '67. Hey, maybe that's my old bike!:grin: Gary

People will often "restore" their bikes to that condition... you have original : ) Thanks for sharing a piece of unharmed history. Both bikes are extreamly nice!

I'd have to say I'm more impressed with the condition of the boys bike. Those are always beat up : )
