And there you go again, belittling someone who’s trying to learn… Good job, sir. Make fun one someone before admitting you were wrong. Real grown up thing to do…..

Hey, I am just like everyone else! I want to learn about this rare King Sting now!

How about the white one with the early decals at the end of this thread?

1980 white schwinn cruiser | All Things Schwinn

Any pics from a 80 catalog and what other years were the special order colors available?, I have had 80-83!, all my 80's have been HR or MR. Here is the 1980 catalog pic of the frames available.

I remember one of these showing up on eBay many years ago that sparked a similar discussion but I don't recall which messageboard it was on. I don't see the thread here on the CABE... It was a west coast bike and had the same early style decals.

Now that is more like it.that one looks legit to me.the first one i still say is a repaint.the one in japan is too hard to tell in the pics.this one is,at least from what i can see a factory built bike.thats a find to fuel your discussion.the paint and the actual presence and nicly matched deteriorating sidewinder decals seem spot on with this one.

Here we go again, it never stops going. This will be a topic long after we are gone.

“believe what you want…..”

This is the way

Unless that Schwinn executive sobers up and chimes in with the "truth"

At this point I’m convinced that a letter from Schwinn sent to dealers in 1980 could surface about white sidewinders coming and it would be called a forgery…
