I have a '67 StingRay, I've tried posting... Appearantly the pics aren't clear enough. I bought that bike when I was 7 (1978) for 5 bucks. It was behind a garage of a local doctors home. Had new tube installed and rode it... Few years later, I painted it orange, traided wheels for black coaster Troxel mags with big knobbys, apehangers for v-bars, and a ten speed seat (as you said). In 1999 or 2000, I painted it black. Took the mags, & seat off and put back on the factory parts (still had the wheels & bars) bought a brand new banana seat & tires. Then in 2009, I decided to strip it down to the metal, and paint it back to the original color (purple). Bought some reproduction, time correct waterslide decals, with help from the "Museum", Placed them in the correct location. It turned out really nice! That old Stingray has had many faces...

P.S. I use to have an old Kent... Had the "K" gusset, and was light blue. I broke the lower tube, just behind the headtube.

I had the same kent in yellow and red. Yo send me some pix of the sting rey i love them old bikes.

Love the look, I just picked up a similiar Western Flyer frame and plan on doing the same type of build
