[mayohsauce26]

Story of the bike found it last year on offer on the background of a fair lady this was the conditions it was in guy said bike sat inside his garage for 15 years and 5 outside . I was lucky enough to find it . Funny thing I thought it was just a basic early 70s schwinn but no it is a 1965 schwinn stingray , I found the original high loop and sent the seat pan to get recovered by joe Crawford a before and after !
