Hi,
Checkout the Sting Ray I found today on Craigslist and just right down the street from me, literally. I'd appreciate any thoughts on the bike, especially as to what components might be stock not etc. If I had to guess, it appears to be a mid-seventies model, I can't find a serial chart anywhere....anyone got one?! The paint is pretty clean as are most all of the decals and especially the chain-guard. The seat has a sticker on the bottom saying "seat for one rider not two". The chrome, while it has rust, it is pretty superficial and would clean up pretty easily with naval jelly I imagine, although Ive never restored a bike and am open to suggestions. I'd like to keep it stock. I was thinking disassemble the bike, repack the bottom bracket, wash the frame in a mild soap and wax it perhaps. The seat has no rips and if I had to guess was maybe at one time either white with flecks in it or maybe silver? I dunno. Checkout a couple of the pix here and Ive also made a website with more detailed pix:

Thanks for taking the time to read my post, thank you in advance for your feedback.
regards,
Jefferson
