Newb with a StingRay

Those bars would technically work but if you are not going to get Schwinn ones I would just stick to the Schwinn ones on it now. Those did come on Fastbacks but on earlier bikes than yours. I also think they are cooler than the "correct" ones. It was definitely originally Campus Green. One of the hardest of all colors to paint. Just a little to much paint and it is too dark.
 
I don't know if this means it's an early christmas or not.

The red paint and primer are coming off pretty easily with spray carb clean and a rag.

Worst thing that could happen is I have to re paint it anyways.
 
I've been searching the internets high and low to find a '68 green fastback like mine. No luck.

Found this black 67 fastback on schwinnstingray.net and it is just like mine except the color. Even has the same bars and frame style.

Could mine be a 67? The frame indicates it was made in late 67 but I assumed it was a 68 model.

Exposing more of the original paint and I picked up some green grips and a recovered, original seat.

You can still make out the ghost of Fastback past.

Got some new tires coming to ride on and I'll strip the rest of the paint off when I pull the wheels.

If I can find a decent set of forks I think It will make a nice survivor. Not much green left on them.

I've been riding this thing every night after work to get some exercise and rehab my hip.

Hey Gary

Your link is to a Flam Lime auction. For Campus Green the auction number is: 400688476596

Ya, I said it was my green. LOL I have that link saved and it saves me time when looking up Pete. If I was redoing a Fastback it just might end up Flambo Lime.
