My name is Robert. My dad got me my first Stingray around ‘68. It was a Forest Green one. That was shortly stolen, and I was fortunate to get another one. It was an all Chrome one. Haven’t been able to find pictures online of it. I do believe that was a special model. Please, can someone help me to confirm that was an original Schwinn color option? Unfortunately, that was eventually stolen also. Then, I graduated to a green Schwinn Continental 10 speed.

I had a 5 speed Sting Ray Fast Back. I loved it. There will never be another bike like the Sting-Ray.

Wow. This was quite the surprise. Great memories.

I wonder if I am related to this branch of Giannotti. I don’t know much about my grandfather Eugenio Giannotti. I recall he was the youngest of like 11 kids and many of his brothers left Italy and moved to Chicago. I grew up in Tivoli for about 8 years and my dad moved us to Venezuela for work. I wish he had kept his roots firmer in Italy after his retirement in the 90s. Venezuela just went south once people voted Socialism in. Socialism is just the first step to Communism. I pray that the US doesn’t turn into a Venezuela.

What an awkward way to end the show unless that's his thing. Came off as abrupt and rude.

I had a green 5-speed StingRay, with the skinny tires, stick shift of course. I went fishing with my buddy in Long Island, NY. We parked our bikes and hiked to the fishing hole. When we returned my StingRay was stolen. I was heartbroken, for a long long time. I remember afterwards riding in the car with my parents, and I would be looking for my stolen StingRay. My father didn't buy me another one, it was $69.95. Instead he got me a cheap $29.95 tingRay knockoff. Huffy or something.

Ugh. What a waste of my time. No story behind their 2 hits, how & why people kept leaving the group, if Mercury promoted them properly, that they lost the deal & had to go back to small labels again, the death of his songwriting partner Les Kummel in '78, etc.

Seeing guys like Ronnie still around make you wonder how musicians of today will fare when they're old. Will they have been so overexposed the public doesn't care or will want to see them even more? Most of us never saw the groups in concert or even tv, like Sullivan or American Bandstand. Today we like to see bands and singers from our youth, that bond of memories, many of them take advantage and still tour even though they're in their 70s or 80s. But we didn't have constant exposure to them like today. We still think it cool to see old bands from 'our day'. And pay for it. Some bands don't even have original members. Some are on their 3rd or 4th incarnation.

I have a collection of '60s and '70s Sting Rays and Krates, and '70s Schwinn 10 speeds. I'm 65 years old, and I got into them purely out of nostalgia, because they are what I had as a kid. I also have quite a few parts.

De Lux Sting Ray. Had a yellow one.

My favourite is "Roll On" from 1971.

I worked at giannottis rest. I started work as dishwasher and I worked very hard, thanks to this great person I fixed my papers and now I'm a american citizen, after I was dishwasher I became work as busboy, that was many years a go

I worked at the Waikiki restaurant as a rover then busboy and then moved to the Lahaina shop as a cocktail waiter. Nick was amazing, larger than life in his fur coat with a blonde on each arm. My car broke down and he loaned me a couple grand to get another so I could get to work, great guy.

Yess , Schwinn DID produce the Black Ramshorn....Sting Ray.... It did come in BLACK.

I have an Orange krate.. I hardly see the Ramshorn..

My dad owned a psychedelic teen club called the ‘Illusion’ in a small town (Neenah Wisconsin) back in the sixties and the New Colony Six were a frequent headliner. Ronnie and his band mates would pack the house. Great days of phenomenal music. I wonder if Ronnie remembers that place?

I was a rover in the dining room at the Sunset location, the stories. So many famous faces, Hollywood , music industry...

Ronny rice becames a greatest, singer's, but he's can't touched dennis t, lead singers the buckingham's, their's, songs was played on radio's, stationed all over the globaliz... also if they's so popular why's his record was'nt played much on the radio's, stations, why's the he's did'nt gets imitations too sings on ed sullivans, showed also the former grps, the buckinham's, had knocked the ron rice, and his grps, off the charts,

Oh yeah his fans, out there's but i heard individ... did'nt played his, recording on radio's, that's much, on the radio's, yrs, 1964s new grps, call their's selves the new colony, ronny rice, its becames leads singers, he's had a fantastical voicals,

I worked for him years ago. I have been searching high & low for the recipe they used for what the chef told me was bernaise sauce.i haven't had one like it since I was last at his place in Oak Brook Terrace. HIGH & FLIPPN LOW! I'm beginning to think it WASN'T bernaise but it was AMAZING

Oh my God, What a physical change!

Ronnie you rock.

Great to see Jerry Korab !

I have a few Stingray's, including an original Sky Blue 1966 that looks exactly like the one shown here, and just as clean 14:58

that guy's suit, lol

It wasn't clearly explained why the Original New Colony Six broke up, they seemed to be getting along very well but the Videos showed very few of them smiled during the Performances. Great Blending of Four Voices and wavy Harmonies.

Ha yes, I had my birthday green fastback 5 speed for a few weeks, some fk stole it from the driveway of my friends house, hope they are rotting in hell, took years before my parents got me another bike

Let's not forget chicago transit authority

i got one for x mas and it got ripped i one day

best hockey fight I ever saw. Jerry Korab Portland Buckaroos vs John Arbour Vancouver Canucks 69-70 WHL season. Looked like something out of slapshot.

Nick changed my life!

best guys I ever worked specially my guy Gregg... IZZY Jimenez 😃

Very awkward way to end the show 🤣🤔🙄

He and the band belonged on The Ed Sullivan Show.

Oh man, you just reminded me that Patty Smyth was being considered for vox 2.0 damn, I wish they would have done that. AND kept Ted Templman as producer.

Hey Ronnie, did you work at A pizza shop in Evanston the summer of 1967?

things id like to say SUCH A GREAT SONG!!! BIG HIT IN BROOKLYN 1969 😍😍thank you!!!

2023 and I still can't buy Things I'd Like To Say on iTunes. Why?

Such beautiful vocals by Ronnie Rice. My favorite New Colony Six song: 'I Could Never Lie To You'.

I'm his grandson in law

I’m afraid to comment negatively or stop watching. Don’t wanna get whacked.

Boogie body Charvel neck.

IT WAS THE MEXICAN KIDS THAT SWITCH BIKE PARTS FROM FEA MARKETS AND BUILD UP THEIR OWN BIKES BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO MONEY TO BUY ONE SO THEY BUILD THEIR OWN SCHWINN WAS THE FRAME IT WAS TOUGH ITS THE FOUNDATION TO THE LOWRIDER BIKE TODAY TODAY MEXICAN HAVE THE BIGGEST COLLECTION OF SCHWINN

You cant get things i said today on iTunes

Greatly informative and entertaining interview!

Why isn't 'Things I'd Like To Say' in the I-Tunes Store? I want to put it on my Ipod.

Nick is all talent!

what a joke just two men bragging about their collection with a bunch of misleading and incomplete information about this brand and its true history. great host that takes a personal call and immediately walks out on his own and leaves them to finish he show.
