'71 MantaRay

[Hammond Eggz]

I thought some of you guys might enjoy looking at this one, my all-original '71 Schwinn MantaRay 5-spd. in the one-year-only SilverMist colour.
This is probably the ONLY bike I've ever owned that I will never mod in any way! :wink:

NICE and CLEAN !!! Ive been planning on having one someday til then I'll just drool at yours instead

 

[CCR]

and one question, does the seat tag say stingray or mantaray on it ?

 

[Hammond Eggz]

Ha - thanks.
It says "MantaRay" - these are different, they flare out much wider toward the rear than the usual "banana" seats.

 

[BankerRAt]

hence the "manta-ray" name

Wow. :shock: Nice bike... Love the color...

 

[Hammond Eggz]

Thanks, guys -

Such a pristine bike :shock: that is simply gorgeous, how on earth could one ever think of modding this beauty ?
This bike belongs in a museum 8)

Thanks, I kind of feel the same way - so it sits in my office where I can stare at it all the time! :lol:
