Re: <<<<<1979 Sting Bros>>>>>
I remember seeing those in the Schwinn shop for the first time when I was looking at parts for my Scrambler and wondering why someone would make a "motocross" bike (didn't know "BMX" back then) with "10-speed" parts on it (freewheel and non-coaster brake) and being really, really puzzled by it.

I love that they used to be called "Schwinn Shops". I still call my LBS "The Schwinn Shop".

Re: <<<<<1979 Sting Bros>>>>>
Awesome. Coincidentally I just put one of those Elina Super Pro seats on my blue 79 Sting and I love the way it looks.
Favorite bike ever! Thanks for sharing!
The Sting family on this board is super cool. Everyone hooks each other up, helps with your builds and finds parts for each other. Probably the closest knit family on the museum which is so cool!
