Got a little bit of assembly done today. The seat is to small so I am on the hunt for a longer seat.

Working on tearing down and making a list of what I might need to wrap it up. I will need new tires and tubes for sure. Bought seat, seat mount, handlebars, and a few more items. Going to assemble first and ride, then decide if I want to do a total repaint or not. The donor bike was a 3 speed...

Finally got a 24" Speedster, womens bike to use as a donor for the build. Over the next week I will take pictures of what I am starting with, the teardown and what will be used to build up the clone Manta Ray.

Thanks alot that really helps. Most appreciated for your efforts.

Thanks for the measurement. Can I get the total length from front to back and possible a picture taking from top view. It will help in scaling the shape before I cut metal and start forming. Thanks!

Looks real good! Love the rich color of Coppertone.

Nice score, always liked that color. Should shine up real nice!

Anyone out there have dimensions for a Manta Ray seat they would be willing to share? I can see that they are wider in one section and was wondering about overall dimensions. Was thinking about trying to fab one up. Thanks!

I did not pick up a 24" donor bike but I did pickup two 26: bikes for projects over the winter. One is a 26" 1970 Schwinn Hollywood womens bike from Chicago with a 2 speed yellow kickback hub and the other bike is a 26" 1975 Schwinn Heavy Duty also a Chicago bike.

Tomschwinning I sent you a PM regarding Manta Ray.

So the 24" Breeze I had lined up fell through. When they took it to the shop to send it they wanted 174.00 for shipping. I backed out since the bike was only $50. So I will be looking for another 24" donor bike.

I was able to locate a 24" Breeze 3 speed women's bike for a donor. I sent you P.M.

See the first post, I am starting with a Speedster frame and forks.

Not sure yet, just started looking at rims and options.

Thank you! Very helpful....

That bike is what I am shooting for, looks amazing. What size handlebars are those and how about the crank size.

Thanks for the suggestion, I am learning.

A 46 tooth 6010 crank set, whatever will fit a 24" Schwinn Speedster frame. I need the crank, sprocket, bearings and cups.

Looking for a crank set that will fit a 24" Schwinn Speedster. Working toward building a Manta Ray clone. Crank does not have to look like Manta Ray just the right size. Thanks!
