We were kids and customizing your stingray was all the rage. I added a way cool sissy bar and bar grips with streamers(ok, the streamers were a bit much I admit!) Yeah, it weighed a metric ton and a half, but I had good legs back then, so again, who cared? It was about the adventures that a stingray bike could bring you to and how cool it looked and the Charger did look pretty cool.


Thanks @theicon1 for bringing your fathers story to us. His company filled an important niche for kids and families with little money...
I think that's something I overlook all the time, providing affordable bikes for kids and families with little money.

Thanks @Giacomo 1
