I distinctly remember a deal that was offered to me from my parents, that I needed to pay half. Mowing lawns, raking lawns, whatever it took to get a New Schwinn Sting-Ray. Mission accomplished.

i fell in love with the krate bikes when they came out. a kid a couple of years older than me got the first one i ever saw in person and it was a lemon peeler. i had to have one and a couple of years later was able to buy a cotton picker with the disc brakes. i was so excited. my dad was really pissed off at me for wasting my money. he wouldnt ever buy anything for me, but would offer me the ability to work for anything i wanted. so i had to be the most excited kid on the planet and get it home jump on it run down to my best friends house 3 doors down and he has a black regular stingray. we race and he blows my pedals away. i was absolutely deflated. my dad proceeds to explain to me that not only did i waste my money but failed to research my purchase. he said you are just a show off (guess i always was) and fell for the flashy look. then explained why the bike was so much slower because all of my energy of pushing those pedals as hard and fast as i could was all absorbed in the shock system. i was really mad and parked the bike after riding it to school (to show off of course). i went back to riding my put together huffy bike until i saved enough money to buy one without the shock system. kept it for a few years and sold it to a guy for what i paid for it.
