The kids were all changing out their stingrays to ride dirt in the 60's. Pulled the fenders, sissy bar, ape hangers and banana seat on a Hawthorne and traded with a local bike guy for a seat and touring bars. Rode great until I jumped off a hill and bent the pedals and crank arms. All we had was pliers, screwdriver and a pipe wrench. Wasn't pretty, lol.
