Hope someone gives you a Huffy Santa Fe for Christmas! Are you an employee of Fermilab? You cannot trust Chinese tech. You may be going over 50mph.

Great job brother. Though is it possible that you could have used a little more foam on the top surface? It seems a little sparce.

THAT BIKE DOESN'T HAVE BRAKE-PADS.........

Great video, Thank you!

Spokes are so cheap there is hardly any reason to reuse the originals.

is that a two speed rear end

Not the Evel Knievel helmet… your sir are a true patriot.

Man your attention to detail is incredible. Sub’d. You rock.

Midlothian I'll close to where I grew up. Had one with a 3 foot sissybar.

How long is this white banana seat? 17inch? 21inch?

You got to stick that rear tire in the gravel and get a good slide out of it!

HOLY SHIT

These videos have been very helpful for me with cleaning Chrome. Question on the tumbler. Do you have fine or coarse walnut shells in it when you got such a great shine using it?

what the hell happened to the springer..? You sold that? You blew it asshole..you had a super deluxe in Violet.. Now just a hokey make over bike with repop BS parts, cobbled together... FAIL!

Really, Awesome job.

The Schwinn Stingray was meant for everybody, not just for kids. It was designed so that adults can ride them as well as kids. And many adults did. I once collected Stingrays, and I even got hold of an original in lime green with a solo polo saddle. Until an arrogant Schwinn specialist made me trade in that lime green original for the project he was working on. I no longer collect Schwinn Stingrays, because I got sick and tired of the Schwinn Stingray community. I forgot to mention: You did good work on your 66. It should last you a while.

Just fly through the stop sign you’ll do it.

Great video...I'll being doing this exact same recovering job soon. Where did you get the replacement sissy bar bushings? Something special or any good hardware store? Thx.

Just ride the Stingray down Loveland pass, Colorado. You'll definitely reach 40mph there!

I believe It’s actually a Captain America style helmet, from the movie Easy Rider. Great job on the bike.

Beautiful bike! I just got my hands on a 65 super deluxe in the same exact color 99% original. Only thing missing is a 65 dated front white wall. The one on it is a 68 white wall but the rear and everything else all original. Hope to find it one day. Great job on restoration…bike looks amazing

A company that still makes these would be rich

duh...Let me guess you're going to give it away...

Ass cheeks clinch the seat 🤘🏼

I just bought one at a yard sale for $20 someone gave it a cheap spray paint job. How do i go about removing the bad paint job and bring it back to the original paint job? Also, how can i find out what year it is and how can i find extra parts for it as they didn't put the fenders back on.

Where do you get the rivets and the eye lids for sissie bar?

I lived in Queens, New York over 30 years ago, on a street on a long, steel hill. Every so often, I would hear some kids timing the light from the bottom of the hill from the top of it. You always knew when the light turned green because you heard the kids scream "AHHHHH!" as they rolled down the hill to go through it. It was HILARIOUS every time!

I know this video came out about a year ago but I wanted to ask you how did you find tires for your bike? My wife is trying to restore a 1963 schwinn and the tire size is odd. Do you know of a good website to look on for those?

This looks like the exact bike my late brother had minus the 2 speed kick back, I have a really good picture of him and I With it.

Good job! Enjoyed the video

Great work and outcome!

My Schwinn fast back has a single pan seat. Seat post clamp is welded to the pan. I just replaced it with an after market cheapy.

What's the name of the kit?

A bit late with this comment/question, but what kind/size tires are those, on the Stingray? I have a banana seat bike I'm planning to restore, almost the same as yours. Awesome build! New subscriber here!

Great job! where did you find the seat cover? looking for a Lemon peeler seat cover thx

You might want to go trying to leaned forward downward towards the Handle bar. You should try a 1980s 10 speed betcha you will be able to hit 45 mph.

It's scary as shit doing 30 mph on a 20' bike and mine's electric and my first bike was a Schwinn Stingray 1966.

Well, going 40 mph is not as fast as I was going through. When my brake cable broke in half inside my brakes case when I was going down St. Croix Falls between Minnesota and Wisconsin when I was young during the 80s. My friend and I were heading out to my Dad's cabin in Wisconsin. I've had some how Managed to make it down the hill and cruising between 50 and 65 miles per Hour without having any Sort of problems with bumped in vehicles or people who are walking around on the right side of the road to look over the river. All I know is that I would not want to go through that again. Note; If any other person who is planning on a long-distance road trip. Best of go replaced your brakes cables before you go. Because of that, I have truly learned a very important lesson.

i see you are leaning forward in this video.. 43 ! that awesome for an old bike.. i wonder what i can reach in my 70 drag stripper.. once i get it completed.

lean forward to reduce drag you may just hit the 40mph..

Very Nice!

Hope all good, enjoyed the restoration.....amazing!

Let's hear it for Park Tool grease and a decent bearing repack...! lol!

I had that same color Violet Schwinn Stingray in 1964, paid $70 with my own allowance! Loved that bike! 🩷🩷

OUTSTANDING!

I got over 35 miles an hour on my bike once going down a bridge but ended up hitting a snake and losing control and landing in a weed patch. By the time the fire ants got through with me I decided never again.

I use electrolysis for rust removal. Pits I generally solder or braze over. Electroplating is possible at home, but you need to do a lot of polishing. Never had the Schwinn sing ray but I did have the Sears Ted Williams version of a chopper bike. Once I grew tall the bike eventually was too small to ride and it sat in the garage. My parents must have thrown it away when I moved out. Had a slick rear tire, glitter banana seat, wheelie bar and glitter grips. When I was in Junior high I actually restored it down to taking the spokes off and polishing and straightening the wheels, 40 miles an hour on that thing seems suicidal.

❤❤❤ nice restoration, i love old Schwinns , every kid wanted a stingray when i was a kid .

Nize video, I have 2 1959 Schwinn bikes to "rehab" since I would never want to repaint etc, some good tips as I have 3 2 speed kick backs.

WOW👌
