I learned how to ride on a bike just like that, (except it had a red banana seat on it) Very nice!!! Man does that bring back memories!

Re: 1973 Schwinn Stingray
I had a metallic red one set up just like that, except my bars were cut down motorcycle bars, and it never looked that nice!. Great build.
I don't have time for Nostalgia. I'm too busy thinking about the good old days.
