Let’s see some early 80’s King Stings and Sidewinders

Not mine, but a really nice King Sting. I was told that it was an Illinois bike shop showroom baby most of its life.

Yea, and it seems that the single speed bikes are the rarest of them all. That bike looks great.

They are TrueTorch Flat track high rise (motorcycle style).... solid aluminum. They were 36" wide but as i recall i took about an inch and a quarter off each side.....Nice and beefy but still able to stand up and sling them around

The problem child controversial early 1981 OG White Sidewinder got a makeover. Wearing what few OG parts still existed on it. And a bunch of restomod upgrades. 27.5” wheel conversion and disc brakes. Hodge podge of nice new parts, swap meet finds and scrap bin leftovers. Rides awesome and looks good next to her sister!
