Schwinn King Sting and Sidewinder!???

Haha did I do it wrong? Damn training wheels…was looking at the tip frame on the king sting sidewinder threas
 
Before you ask, I bought this off Ebay so all I know about it is what you see. It came as a single loose sheet, and I don't remember what's on the back. If you want to see the back I'll scan that too once I find it. I've still got the original somewhere, but I'll have to do some digging.

And you have solved the mystery of the factory built "WHITE" Sidewinders with documented proof......................!!!!!!
 
Finally! Thank you @Oilit !!! We’ve all been looking for it or waiting for it to pop up! The missing piece to all these factory painted white Sidewinders! I’m so glad that we could all learn here about this topic! Now the world knows.

The next question is, why did they change the color?? Why didn’t the white make the catalog? Is this sheet part of a sales catalog sent to dealers?

This is exactly what I was hoping to unearth with this thread! Thank you for finding some literature that provides us with some clarity on these sidewinders being white🤘🏼

I'm wondering that myself. Can we get some headbadge numbers from these white Sidewinders? I'm guessing maybe they were an early production version, but that's just a guess. Maybe the numbers will tell us something.

The most recent White Bike posted has no head badge stamping with the date code!

Also, I would say early production because that spec sheet is dated 1981

I’ve been compiling all the ones we’ve seen so far, with badges numbers that are visible. I know we’ve discussed some, but I’ve slept since then.
