Wildcat, thanks for the info. And Green Dragon, Thanks for the heads up. I believe it's an S7 but will double check later this evening.

Found this crank arm and sprocket for $5 today at Working Bikes. This place is the equivalent of a vehicle junk yard, a warehouse of used bikes, parts, wheels, rims, etc. it is a non for profit organization that donates proceeds and refurbished bikes to different organizations throughout the U.S. some other countries.

Will be back for a chain guard.

agree with Crash, wish we had something like that around here, reCycles, etc... a friend and myself have talked about starting up somehting like that, but $ for a building, or organization to sponsor space has not been forthcoming ( yet ) .
 
So I've made some progress since my last post. Not quite ready yet. Still working on it.

Yup on the 'It's not a sting ray" deal. In the 60's I'd take any 20" Schwinn cantilever frame and turn it into a stingray. Decals availed at any Schwinn store too. Some I'd dip in acid but, me thinks those ones were not neutralized so, they've likely disintegrated by now. [wink]

That though, would also mean 20" Schwinn's that were made during and after 63-4 as regular bikes, got converted too. All ya needed to sign the deal was a chain guard.
