Good day juvela, I have a hunch where that fountain is.
The surroundings are still fresh and new so will need to verify.
Ok I believe the mystery has been solved on my childhood Klunker ID. However still searching for the replacement.
After researching Sears Roebuck and eliminating the 1970’s line of Spyders and Spirit bikes it became apparent that the 60s offerings were lugged bikes. I was unable to locate a “stingray” style but the 3 speed bikes had the same lugging and head as the Puch muscle bike which in turn was the same as the Executive.
Here are the Puch Sears bikes that helped identify the lugging and and head style.

I am relatively convinced this 1971 Puch branded muscle bike
Classic & Vintage - Puch Muscle Bike - I had one of these when I was a kid, my parents sold it when I was a late teenager without telling me. I've never seen another in the flesh, and struggled to find a picture of exactly this even online, so you can imagine my surprise when I found one on eBay...

and this 1971 Executive branded muscle bike are in fact of my bikes origin.
It appears the Steyr line was non lug and Puch line was lug. I have seen many of the Steyr non lug rebranded to Royce Union, Iverson and several others.
In conclusion these 2 bikes appear to be the same as my original machine.
The Shimano 333 hub was added by me or it was a wish not yet realized. It’s been 45 years and I have been as honest with myself about the details as possible.
I am always open to critique or comment if anyone has anything to add or question. My eyes are burnt out of my head from looking at bikes. Thanks for the messages and allowing me to throw all these reference links up on your site. I am enjoying several sections of this forum and will be showing up hopefully on other threads now that this one is coming to a conclusion. I look forward to future posts on European muscle bikes being added to this thread. If anyone has a lead on a bike or frame it will be rewarded and very much appreciated. As a new Caber (lil knee scuffed) I tried to share the search in hope it may help others in the future rather than glean and go
