63 Deluxe Stingray Coppertone - new to me

-

indycycling

Wore out three sets of tires already!
Just thought I'd post a new bike in the Stingray collection, received yesterday, reassembled with a light detail. Needs a couple odds and ends and a bit more detailing, but I'm very pleased with it

indycycling,

Nice ‘63, I love the short frames.
What is the date on this Deluxe?

I think that rear fender may be the Long version from your photos.

All late ‘63 Deluxe, all of ‘64 and into very late ‘65 used the Short Razor edge fender on the Deluxe model.
Measuring from tip to rivets is 3-3/4”.

The later version (1966 and beyond) of the Deluxe razor fender was 4-7/8”.

My ‘64 rear fender compared to my ‘66 rear fender clearly shows the difference.

The chrome fender brace should be fastened to the outside of the frame ear.

Thanks Chris, beautiful pair you have there.

My fenders are repros and I hadn't noticed the seller had the fender braces on the inside, I'll correct that for sure.

I'm in the garage putting my restored 72 Orange Krate disc bike back together, I'll private message you later today, thanks
