Awesome..my first Sting Ray was the same color,,,in about 1967 or 68 . I put that bike to the test for 5 years and never broke anything on it. But then it was time to move up to a 10 speed…..Schwinn made some great bikes back in the 60’s…👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Ok so I asked around and from what I’m being told, it’ll mount but it’ll be shorter. I know it’s difficult to find the exact part at times but it’ll save you from having to deal with other issues in the long run
I’m inspired. Looks like you have some Parker tools. Gonna start restoring my 58’ Hornet cruiser. Where can I get an affordable set of bike tools? And you did say they were standard right? Novice here. Thanks.
That’s awesome! It’s really rewarding once your restoration is done and a 58 Hornet is a really cool bike to do it with! But a standard set of wrenches and sockets will disassemble and reassemble the majority of your bike actually. I’m a big fan of Park Tool because they’re good quality. I work for Richards Bicycles at rbikes.com in case there is anything I can help you with!
I've got a May of 66 Violet Deluxe. I wish my paint was as nice as yours. Please tell me you're not going to paint it. Is it going to be for sale when it's done?
They really are beautiful bikes! And absolutely not, I will not repaint this bike! I don’t like repainted bikes because it really erases the history of the bike. You can always tell when a bike has been repainted too, it’s just not the same. And I’m sorry but I won’t be selling this bike. As you know they’re hard to come by without spending a lot of money. Thank you for watching and I’m exciting to get my next video posted!
@@GoodTimeBikes Aaah, so good to hear! Is there a shop decal on the center tube? What shop is it from? I just saw your seat rebuild video. It turned out really nice. I'm looking forward to seeing this thing finished!
Thank you very much and I’m excited to ride it too! There is a shop sticker on it and I’ll leave it on there of course. Unfortunately there are only about two letters that are left so I don’t know where it came from
Aah you guys are killing me lol everyone keeps asking and I keep saying I’m going to keep it. Everything has a price right? But I might end up doing a video on polishing the fork… maybe. The future is still unforeseen for now.

That bike will be awesome when it's finished. Keep up the good work!
Thank you!
Beautiful piece of history
Indeed! And I’m excited to get this beauty back on the road for people to see rather than keep it stuffed away in a garage.
@@GoodTimeBikes same here. I am currently working on an Orange Sunset Fastback.
That’s awesome! We need to keep them alive so they’re not forgotten! :) Plus it’s so much fun lol
Can’t wait to see this thing done! I have a stingray of my own that I’m trying to restore back to original
I’m working on recording and editing right now so it’s moving along. I hope this helps serve as a little inspiration for your project! 👍🏼

That’s really cool! Do you still have your stingray or did you get another one?
Had that exact bike in Corvette blue when I was a kid with the spring fork
Very nice! Back then you were the coolest kid on your block! These bikes certainly stand the test of time!
nice bike recently was given a few of these old bikes by a family member who bought a house 2 just like this
That’s really cool! I hope you find the time and resources to bring them back to life! Ride em don’t him em :)
I just picked up a November 3 speed Deluxe 1966
Oh nice! Congratulations!
it's a kind of bike from my collection
So cool
Cool indeed! They’re definitely worth taking care of an restoring
Started restoring a 1964 Schwinn Twinn Tandem Bike.
I love Twinns! I have two Deluxes. One opaque blue and another campus green. What color is yours?
rare bike like it better than the Krate
Indeed and I’m excited to get it back on the road!
Good video, owner must drive a 4th gen
Lol thank you
What's up my friend.... Question: does a vintage schwinn stingray Jr. fork fit on a regular vintage boy's stingray.?
I don’t think so but let me double check. I believe the steer tube length would be different. Just like a girls fork won’t fit a boys bike.
Ok so I asked around and from what I’m being told, it’ll mount but it’ll be shorter. I know it’s difficult to find the exact part at times but it’ll save you from having to deal with other issues in the long run

Is that spring fork for sale?
I’m sorry but it’s not. It’ll find it’s way on to another Stingray eventually though.
I have two 65's I could use that spring fork if you want to sell it, let me know thanks.

@@GoodTimeBikes In the process of polishing mine but no hurry for sure, would like to see that video soon, take care. Thanks
Thank you! 👍🏼
