What’s the fastest anyone’s ever gone on a Schwinn Stingray?

No max speed provided by the builder. I love the drag bars, rear sets (rear axle mounted pegs) and that big exhaust.
It looks like it's not a Schwinn built frame though with the bolt on kickstand. Uh oh disqualified by the judges.
 
That’s fast! Is he just coasting or is he running electric?

Pedaling and coasting. This was one of a few runs Bill made and the first one was pretty cool when he was passing a truck. The rider is Bill and he's a good friend of Brian, @island schwinn and I believe Brian was there during the first attempt to hit 55.
 
what the Stingray video showed was a guy getting the speedo to show 55 MPH.

it takes a great deal of effort to go that fast on a bicycle.

this one looks pretty fast..

It seems like the fastest Stingray contest would need to be a gravity bike contest, since adding gas or electric power is an endless rabbit hole, even with a weight limit.
And it would be easy to say that if it's powered it's no longer a Stingray.

Gravity bicycle land speed record is currently 78.48mph.
