grey ghost question

[Obi-Wan Schwinnobi]

I don't know jack about rays. just noticed three different shifter types lol.. Anyways, why was the grey ghost only sold for one year and the cotton picker for two?... Didn't realize so many variants existed!. No fenders, one year ww slick ect...

ha, I collect stingrays and have no clue. I just know (now) that if you find a shifter that is smooth on the arm, it is worth more.

Me too

I also have collected a mass of stingrays and am not a purist when it comes to these things. 71 is the year for grey ghost, and I believe you may be right about the 2 year run on the cotton.

The Cotton was 70-71 only. It's the only Stingray I own. V/r Shawn

Nice cotton pic, but....

Shawn,

Nice cotton picker pics by cotton, but what would you have done if you had a grey ghost???

Here is my cotton. It is a resprayed bike, so who knows if it is even correct! This is a "coaster Krate" meaning it doesn't have gears.

Would probably try to find a Rolls Royce Silver Ghost to take a pic with! BTW my bike is dead original to include tires and seat. Someone back in the day did attempt some rather crude touchups which I intend to fix one day. V/r Shawn

The ghost revisited...

Hahaha... I thought you might head to a haunted house with a can of silver spray paint! Now that would be over the top!

BTW: nice Krate! I wish I spent my money back in the day buying up prewar bikes instead of mass collecting these things... especially since they repoped them. Lost my shirt on krate and phatom parts (hate thinking about it, but I remember when phantom tanks were hard to come by).

Why isn't the Ghost white? Cotton is often dirty anyway (grey), especially after I have worn it.
