1964 Flamboyant Lime wall art.

[60sstuff]

This bike went from someone’s barn to my shed about 20 years ago and I just pulled it out for some photos.

Rode hard and poor storage resulted in the condition of this Lime J39 Deluxe.
The lime bikes get creepy rust very easy and this ‘64 has plenty.

This April 15, 1964 would have looked killer with the leopard solo polo seat and reverse screen chain guard in nice condition.

Correct dated fork (4-4), early top bearing head set, non-crimp strut and it’s early wide bars.

Not uncommon is the reflector aluminum backside being pulled off the steel mounting stud.

Now I need to find a wall.

Really killer example. I love the creepy rust, it has a beauty all it's own.

I would assemble it and ride it till the wheels fell off.
Then I would buy another set of wheels.
I always wanted one of those bikes but they are far beyond my reach I just enjoy seeing them and am thankful even for one to just be wall art.

Very cool piece of bicycle history , the top bearing cup looks to be the same used on many of the springer balloon tire schwinn models .

Good morning guys,

This heavy patina ‘64 Lime is NFS, and represents a Schwinn model that’s not even a year old yet.

It’s the only Stingray I have in this kind of rough shape and offers up an example of how many of them ended up.

Eventually I would like to find a correct matching set of wheels for this bike, but that will be extremely difficult.
I would need a 36 spoke center stamp S2 and a center stamp S7 with some rust to match the bike.

Thanks for the compliments, Chris.
