Did anyone see this 83? I was thinking about bidding on it. Good original condition.

Thanks man. I actually parted it out. To be honest, I didn’t like how it fit. The bb is very high, which put me way over the bars. I was disappointed as I was really stoked to build and have one. The cockpit area felt really short too. I had hopes it would fit like a Kos, but no dice.

First off we're the ones with the blue wheels? Secondly that red straight bar is super cool and you can just take a single speed Freewheel Cog and screw it on that hub and skip the derailleur. Even cooler yet if you get the atom drum brake off the back of a tandem or a clunker five and Lace that up with a single COG and then re-drill a crate bike Adam hub for the front... Had one like that back in the day for downhill. 3rd, that King sting is so super nice I can't believe it. The only thing I would do is get a set of rims and tires you can use and then a black and gold Schwinn Stinger seat and the grips they made to go along with them... Don't forget Rider pedals also LOL. I don't know it might be sacrilege to put rideable Parts on it and ride it and then put it back stock again I don't know

1983. It doesn't have the pizzazz of the earlier models, but still makes a good rider. It even managed to find a little mud!
