Factory Black Stingray

There is no difference between a 1965 Typhoon frame and a Stingray. So Buck is clueless as well.

I guess I'd be a nay sayer then , I just think a bike that is as nice & clean as this one should still be sporting its original factory dated tire's. I have 1948's with original tires that still look great . So why no original tire's with as you say "everything" is original except tires .
It's not in the dealer order books , so it wasn't offered . Chances of it getting a special Black paint job are I think pretty slim . No paper work makes it even harder to prove. Everything you have on the bike is obtainable to this day just like a 1968 "original " Coal Krate or Grape Krate for that matter. Except original dealer paper work. So... the question remains do they really exist ? I guess doesn't really matter as long as you believe & are happy .

ENJOY !

You are absolutely spot on with your first sentence. The 20’’ Typhoon and Stingray share the 1940-A frame.

I’ll give a little slack to Mr. Peacock, as he misspoke on the frame many years ago.
He is an absolute gentleman that doesn’t deserve your clueless remark toward him.

You naysayers can beat me up and my bike if you wish, as I expected it when I elected to do this thread.

Cheers

Looks like more than a few believe it was indeed offered....

Next, 57 you are also spot on.

The fact that this Black Stingray is so damn nice, plus no documentation from Schwinn must mean it’s a fake.

Cheers to you also

Moving on with my legitimate ‘65 Black Stingray for those who know and appreciate.

Cool Bendix advertisements and a neat option in the Blue band Overdrive rear hub with the front caliper brake.

Thanks, Chris
