This is an interesting discussion and brings to mind the discussion I just had with my wife this morning. We’ve decided to buy a mens and women's Schwinn bikes from the sixties and renovate or restore them for our daily use. As far as I’m concerned todays stuff is just a POS.
You definitely speak the truth. I’ve not been that close into the automotive industry. I sell, repair and restore them for 45 years. But I’ve been close enough to to the industry to know they have themselves hamstrung.
Both my Stingray and a Cycle Truck I inherited had poor serial number stamping. Who ever the guy was doing these two was a weakling or didn’t know how to use the stamping machine. Had to use chalk to finally get the numbers.

Once you’ve stripped the item to bare metal, coat it with SR-17, also known as Skunk Rust-17. It is made by Sun Bright Coatings. [email protected]. They are based in Virginia Beach, VA. They developed a coating for Navy ships that deals with rust issues. I’ve seen it work first hand...
Well, I'm back. The thread I started back in 2017 looking for Stingray parts. I had some life situations take precedence over my bike restoration. Anyway, I have had the frame and forks sandblasted and I'm ready to work on the restoration. It is a Stingray Deluxe. I'm looking for correct...
