DPNM Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Excellent workmanship Ray! A little bit better lighting and background and I'd be hard pressed not to think it was 1 to 1. This was one of the real bicycles I wish I had from back in the day. Never got one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James2 Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Very nicely done, brings back memories. It's a shame the cables weren't scaled better. The kit supplied ones look more like garden hose! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted September 22, 2019 Author Share Posted September 22, 2019 Thanks ! I do agree about the cables. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the goon Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Very nice. I wanted one of the those so bad, but my parents bought me a Fedco brand knockoff. Not quite the same. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a Schwinn sting ray but it was a single speed. Wanted the shifter but could not afford it. I paid $69 dollars for the sting ray single speed. Great memories!!! Great build!!!

crazyjim Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 How cool is that bike? I remember them but never had one. Excellent work, Ray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jantrix Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Very cool build up. Nice work. This was THE bike to have back in the 70's. There was one on our block and lots of jealous kids. Me, I had an Iverson Roadrunner. A local Queens based company I've heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drodg Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Looks so cool. I would guess like the MPC Honda CB750 not an easy build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were sort of a budget bicycle company and I've heard the quality of the bikes was poor, but I liked mine and rode the wheels off it for many years.
