Hi /n/
I didn't know where else to put this thread, so i'll drop it here because bikes. Tomorrow i'm going to pick up this bike and I really don't know much about it besides it's an older schwinn "stingray" and honestly it looks rad, I have a couple other schwinn stingray/chopper style bikes but i'm not an expert, just like them. I just cruise around town on them people dig them.
Anyone know anything about these bikes? years of this model? Value? Am I a faggot?

Looks cool. It would be an awesome E-bike.

What I find peculiar is it has a threadless fork and stem, I wonder if it's 1 inch or if it's somehow been adapted to 1 1/8.

It's an aftermarket chopper fork you retard.
>>971715
No shit. Stingrays have 1 inch threaded fokrs/headset/stems so I'm assuming the combo on that bike is also 1 inch and for that to be threadless is quite uncommon.

Nice backpedaling. You implied it was a 1 1/8" fork, retard. Aftermarket parts using unconventional set-ups, this is not amazing news.

>You implied it was a 1 1/8" fork
No I didn't, allow me to quote myself
>I wonder if it's 1 inch or if it's somehow been adapted to 1 1/8
I didn't give a preference for either option, however the more likely one is that it is 1 inch.
damn nice! you could get a 200 mil fork on there

Top kek. They're ugly shitbuckets for trashy spics and everybody knows it.
OP update: I got the bike for next to nothing from some surfer. So far I like it, rides well and is sturdy for a backyard built thing. Took it around town today and my single complaint is the seat is like sitting on a 2X4. Very sucky for long rides.

I bet it would. it's really smooth, i pedal a few times and it just rolls and rolls.

thanks

Opinion noted, although this bike doesn't really give me the feeling of the typical beaner'd out lowrider trash can that I usually see rolling around, More of a classic beach cruiser if anything...

update: i had an original stingray. very, very much like this.
>>971125
26" cruiser bikes are a lot more comfortable, OP.
>>974217
yeah, my only complaint about the bike is the seat is pretty uncomfortable. anyone know where to get an aftermarket bannana seat with decent padding?

Yes.
