Is it real?

On Training Wheels
I’m considering purchasing a stingray.
I’m able to search the serial number and it dates it to 1976.
Problem I’m having is it has a springer front end and the small front wheel.
Did they make the Sting-Ray 5 spd with that front end?
It says 5 spd Sting-Ray on the chain guard, the seat is stamped Pearson’s , everything seems legit from the head tube back. My concern is the front end.
Thanks for any info.

It would be unusual for there to be a caliper brake on a springer stingray. Are the yoke bolts marked with a S?
I'm dubious.

Probably a early after market springer from what I can see. Welds are not the original schwinn springers, also it just doesn't have that smooth appeal like the original ones. Schwinn did make a rare front brake mount for the springer but I believe it was mounted on the front of the truss rods. That brake mount has been posted on IG site

Looks like a Low Rider brand springer. They are low dollar knock offs made over seas. They have been around 15-20 years.
