New member with a custom made Schwinn Stingray
« on: May 09, 2017, 06:02:28 PM »
I posted this on a couple other areas of the forum, but I figured I would post it here as well.  I built my custom made Schwinn Stingray Krate using the front of a 70 Fastback frame and the back of an OCC Chopper frame.  A lot of fab work went into the frame, but I am happy with the results. It is painted in 70 Dodge radiant sublime green, here are a few pics.

Gorgeous. Any plans for displaying that at Kratefest? Not sure where in the country you are...

Okay, thanks. I am in southwestern VT, so not that far away!  ;D

I have been down your way once to pick up a bike (in Fall River). We have a few members from MA here.

Tad, you must be located near the Massachusetts / New York border.  I go out that way when they have the Mopar show at the Lebanon Valley Dragway. Fall River is about 20 minutes away from me.

Yes, in Bennington.

I do pass by Lebanon Valley once every couple of months while working. It's just under an hour away from me.
