Well, I am into old bicycles too, but will not have anything less than a 26 inch tire. I used to own a bicycle shop. JB

i still have my 20" green stingray 5 speed. would love to get it out one day and let the kids ride it maybe once...

Very cool bikes, but I think for that price I'd want something that didn't use me as the powersource.

I have a green stingray fastback. What is that worth? its complete but needs new tires and some shining up .

we have the same bike and monte.......wth? are you copying me?

Get outa here ! I know its weird. I have a cousin like that .Like we are connected by some other force

I love old bicycles, but mostly older trick & bmx bikes from the 80's. Give me a Blue Max, Supergoose, Skyway, or something along those lines & I'm a happy camper.

I'm more on the Cruiser bicycle side. More stylish, IMO. I'm not big into mountain bikes either. I've had three. I'll never have one again. Besides, a mountain bike isn't practical for my use. I like to go on a nice easy ride

Here's some pics of mine, if anyone cares:

1971 Sears Roebuck & Co. 3-speed. Yard sale find: $35. Tore it down, cleaned/polished, new tires, tubes, added a cable speedometer and make the flag bracket myself.


2002 Sun Retro Classic. Great aunt gave it to me after my 'uncle' died. Again, tore it down, polished, new tires n tube. Recently added mirrors.


1989 Schwinn World 10-speed. In the process of being re done. The rear wheel is in the shop. New tires n tubes and a quick polish.


1989 Schwinn Caliente 10-speed. New tires and tube are in the near future.


The two Schwinn my parents bought brand new in March 1990. Even still have the original bills of sales and owner's manual for each.

I used to be into the stingrays, I still have a few parts laying around.

Sell 'em dude. People will pay big money for them.

Wow Kyle very nice !

Thanks a lot!

off the top of my head, I have a spot light similar like the one on the red sears 3 speed, i think its a schwinn one. Also i have a schwinn light generator, some schwinn handle bar grips, sears version or a stingray frame, and a few odd frames. I have this cool little 12 inch bike that i would love to restore.

You guys really know how to make a guy feel old omg when I saw old bikes I thought of my origianl CCM Mustang 2 automatic anyone seen or heard of one of those? Clue it is older then anything mentioned was a 2spd autometic shifting with pedals on the fly :) Will drop by my moms and see if I can get at it still with all the crap she saved think hoarders lol. Then will post some pics when I have time.

I guess I'm the only one here that watched the movies "Rad" or "BMX Bandits"? "Gleaming the Cube" was another 80's movie I grew up with, but it was about skateboards.

You can't do this with your mountain bikes:
