Final Restoration of my Schwinn Stingray 

I sold my entire schwinn collection since the last video and have a new hobby. Glad to see it get finished.

What a marvelous restoration of the beautiful Schwinn bike. Your very knowledgeable of the restoration process. Job well done! Carefull on that 40 mph down hill ride.

I'm so psyched to see you back and working on this bike. It looks great, and I am glad to hear your back is on the mend. Looking forward to your feats of daring-do!

Wow that looks amazing all put together! The wide whites and violet are fantastic!

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

She turned out beautiful.!

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

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.

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.

I'm all about using my original parts as much as I can, even if it means they still show a little age after polishing. I feel it kind of keeps the bike looking like it's got a story to tell. That being said, the Stingray I learned how to ride on is restored and immaculate and I have plenty of trophies I've won with it, so to each their own. Lol.

Finally!

Well done!!! I'm glad you left the STP sticker on the chainguard. Wonderful video! Thanks.

Great work and outcome!

I had this EXACT bike when I was 8yrs old. Same color and kickback 2 speed. I still have the chain guard. Wish I had the bike to go with it!

Greetings from UK. What a wonderful job you did with that bike.very impressive indeed

Very nice, glad to see it done!

Such a beautiful bike. I love the slow-motion of the seal of APPROVAL, THE SCHWINN head badge! Flip the seat mount in front around it will give alittle more room on that shorty frame.

That was a good one ! 🤘😆🤘❗

Great restoration, entertaining and learned a lot.

Wow that was so cool watching it and the bike looks fantastic.

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

Good job! Enjoyed the video

Thank you for taking so much time to make these fun and informative videos. The bike turned out really nice. Your next Stingray project will go much quicker and smoother I imagine. My favorite vid thus far. Helmet!! 40mph needs helmet, kidney belt and maybe some pads just in case.

Dope restoration. Please don't hurt yourself though, we want to see more videos!

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.

Awesome tutorial! U Go U DareDevil!

WOW👌

Grest job!!

Omg you are a perfectionist I have so many old bikes but I don't think I have the courage to take a hub apart or put spokes back on properly.

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.

wow that was epic

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.

Been waiting for this video!!!!! Sale me your springer fork

bout to do my own. we have malvern star here and speedwell

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?

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

Which brand whitewall tires are those

Do you sell refurbished Schwinn front and back wheels for a 20” bike?

Your are a "sick man" thank you.
