Bikes: 1988-ish Cannondale mountain bike; mid 1970's Vista Workhorse (cruiser project); 1970's Schwinn StingRay L'il Chik (project for my oldest daughter); We also have an old, purple Schwinn StingRay L'il Tiger around here somewhere; Various kids' bikes.

Robbie, it doesn't look like it in the picture, but that Vista is a 26" bike. It's gonna be MINE whenever I get done!

I had my first tangle with that baby-blue paint on the StingRay. It won't come off with WD-40, and sort-of wears off with rubbing compound. I'm going to guess it's Testor's model paint, and I'll need some kind of solvent for it. I need to get it all off, because from what I read, oxalic acid won't remove paint, and won't remove any rust that's under paint.
