If you are replying to me, reread my post I think you missed something.
The other 3 bikes I picked up from a lady a few blocks away from me that called the shop where I work looking to sell them, my boss had no interest in them but called me to see if I wanted them, which I did. All three were banana seat bikes, a 71 Schwinn Sting Ray Fair Lady in violet that is in good rider condition, I am going to do this up old school for my niece or wife to ride, it will go good with my built up 70's rat rod Columbia Play Bike. A 72 Schwinn Lil Chik in green also in good rider condition, this one I will service and flip, the last one is a yellow 3spd Murray
Eliminator Mark I frame built up ( poorly I might add) with a bunch of Schwinn Sting Ray parts. I am going to pull most of the Schwinn parts off and replace them with parts I have around here that will work better, I believe the wheels and 42" sissy bar are original to the frame but I am keeping the sissy bar and replacing it with a newer 36" bar. I am also thinking about changing it over to a 5 speed as I have a Shimano 5 speed Click Shift that will fit the twin top tubes on this bike.
