Re: 1980 Schwinn Sting
Nice Sting. I can really relate to the white!!!! You don't see this combo often.
Wanted- White Industries Freewhee 19T and 20T, Mongoose Stainless Steel bars for a Moosegoose, and Big Gulp bars- because I think they look goofy enough to cruise with!

Re: 1980 Schwinn Sting
I had a red one and a black one. Actually it was black at first and let a friend borrow it. He gave it back to me saying he "painted it",when actually I think he "loaned it" to somebody else that did not return it and returned another Sting to me. ;)It also was sans some TuffII's with alloy flanges. Was able to settle up with him in the end . . Anyways nice to see these again.
Racing in the 80's, idle in the 90's and now Cruzin' 24's. What do you ride?
