Schwinn offered this one year only, 1978. The Stingray "Scrambler" was on its way out. This was similar but smaller forks, cranks and bmx saddle. I've always wondered if this model is the junior sting ray frame? Anyway, the Scrambler name moved to the BMX line.

WTB, looking for NOS or mint, no cracking. 1 tire needed, but interested in as many as available.

Interested for sure if Junkman Bob is not,

Wow, love it. I have a similar frame, it has a BF goodrich badge and I believe it is a 1936. need to pull it out and do some comparisons to this one. Paint is amazing btw!

first gen predator. Basically, a Scrambler diamond frame from late 79 & 80 w/ a bit larger gusset & different Brake Bridge. Head badge on bike isn't original to the bike imo. Horionzblue nailed it with his post #7

Is the orange original paint? Also, what year on orange? Bikes look nice on the wall btw.

Nice collection of yamaha's. Those are all very nice, wow!

No reason to call me out as "pointing out the obvious". Just thought I'd mention it, not sure it's obvious to everyone? 20" king sting, yes that is custom for sure, kind of anomaly really. Anyhoo, the person who is receiving the bike is 35 years old, that's why I asked if SLM was suggesting a...

No offense to your buddy's predator/Sting but the King Sting was only offered as a 26". The Sting was the 20" model. I wondered if SLM's reply was referring to a 26" bike?

It's all good. If not, just embrace the complete history of Schwinn 20" Bicycles fellow Cabers, I agree to a point that tampering with a complete could be deemed as sacrilege but many kids (even some of yourselves) did it in the early 70's. In Southern California those "completes" the kid's...

Beautiful paint on that Bike, hope you get it!

That's beautiful original Schwinn! Love it!!! GLWS

There is only one registered on the BMXmuseum and it's listed as a 1977. Looks identical to yours. Cool scoot, pretty rare w/ the Tank intact.

Pretty sure it's a 1983 mini thrasher. You can find it in the 1983 Schwinn catalog. Frame made overseas. Some of the parts like stem, cranks, headset and BB might be leftovers from Scrambler era. As far as value, not as much as a U.S. made scrambler/predator '82 or older.

Did you make the trade? I was wondering how it worked out for you. Hit me up if you still need an opinion on frame, frameset or complete.

Any more BMX questions? Hit me up, I'm pretty sharp on stuff from 1974-1990. I can help find the answers if I don't know.

Newbie but very experienced BMX collector from Illinois here to help... Silver one is about 1983-84 Schwinn Thrasher Mag. Frame manufactured in China or Taiwan, most likely by Giant. I believe these were still assembled in the USA. Bars, stem, chaingurad, BB & cranks all appear to be leftovers...

That sounds like a cool build, love that hump back frame! I am interested in 2nd pair if you are interested in shipping.

That's an awesome original finish on that frame. Nice deal here.

Sweet stingray, this is how they looked in the mid - late seventies, ditch the banana seat, add bmx bars and tuff wheels, very cool.

They are pretty sweet tires, only issue is the fastback wheels are skinny 1 3/8" I think, S-5 or S-6 rim type. Any story to share on the old bike shop you picked these up at?

Great seat, the diamond top looks like a BMX type for sure. I have never seen this seat before but it is very cool.

Newbie here but I am pretty sharp with the BMX market and prices, especially Schwinn BMX. I can give you a value but not sure if it is against the rules to post values openly in a thread? I will say the last pair of these I saw sell was a year or so back and they sold after sitting for sale a...

^^thanks sir, believe it or not I did realize how old the post was. I have been searching for a this frame in this color/year/condition for about 6 years. Mine was stolen as a kid so I am asking whenever there's one that looks this nice with original paint, even if it's a slim chance. Do I...

Beautiful, i had the same one as a kid. Stolen at the video arcade. Still available? pls let me know.
