Hey everyone. So I’ve been around the sting ray world a while but more on the lowrider side and that was years ago. Wanting to finally get back into it and build a standard bike as a rider. I have a 65 frame, fork and few other parts.
The frame seems to have some brazing on it which are in the pics. I’ve been told that it was common on later frames for a reinforcement. Now I could shave that down and make the bike look like and earlier model like I want, but collecting parts seems like it’s not worth it in the end. Ill have tons of money wrapped up into a “look a like” bike that’s just a rider and not a show bike.
This bring me into my actual question. It seems prices are all over the place for a late 60s semi complete bike. I know condition and being more or less complete plays major factors. But for a bike that’s maybe missing parts and has bad paint, would $200 or less be a normal price? Any help would be awesome!
