I still remember what a heave it was to get my big Stingray up on one wheel when I was still 8 or 9 years old.
Luckily it had a two-speed "overdrive", so that low gear was a snappy direct-drive low enough for me.
I got a Raleigh Record when I was 11, but still rode the green Stingray near home and off road.
