Bicycles; Stingrays, Choppers, Muscle Bikes

[bashton]

Many of you know I collect "Muscle" bikes from the 60's and 70's. Ian and I have all of the Krates, a fleet of Raleigh Choppers and a variety of others. I especially like 16/20 bikes, (smaller wheel up front) and the off brands, as I have most of the Schwinn variations.

If you have an old bike hanging in the barn, an NOS bike or even an old project that is just collecting dust and are headed to MCACN, please e-mail me and let me know what you have.

Interested in anything from projects to fresh NOS finds, and especially like original paint bikes, so let me know what you have. Please e-mail to [email protected]

THANKS!

Bob, got any of the racing bikes built by JM, a company owned by Jim and Vera Melton? They built bikes and had a pro race team, headquartered out of CA.

That's cool Bob. You have any pics of your bikes? I recently purchased a Schwinn "Grey Ghost" reissue. Number 50 of 225. Love cruising around on it, although it does take a lot of pedaling. haha.

They have quite a collection of old Stingray's, etc.

Heard of them, but can't say I have ever seen one.

Ian and I both have them also. They are great riding bikes and get a whole lot of attention.

Have gotten a few responses.

If you are heading to MCACN, go ahead and throw that old bike in your trailer, I must just &quot;need&quot; it! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]
