169indy,

Those bikes were the fold-up bike. Green and Brown colors.

Schwinn made them to fit in the trunk of the car.

Correct: Perfect for the School Kid or Retiree on the GO!

We broke the Neck Popping Wheelie's and damaged the rear fenders over and over, not to mention grabbing 2-1/2 gear on the move putting your teeth into your knee caps.

I'd LOVE to have something cool for a pit bike at the track, but I fear it would turn up missing when left unattended.

Plus - I wasn't a very good dad in the respect that my kids all had kinda crappy bikes. I'd feel bad about getting something really nice for myself at this point.

Default 1964 Schwinn Deluxe Sting-ray

Untouched Survivor with beautiful Factory Paint.

One of my favorite Sting-ray models and color.

Advertised as Violet or Radiant Violet, but the common term used is Opal Violet.

Opal Violet was only available for 10 months (April ‘64 through January’65).

The J39 Deluxe model featured some cool stuff.

A tufted solo polo seat made by Charlie PERSONS.
Large Stimsonite reflector.
Chrome fenders.
White Wall tires.
Reverse screen chain guard.

Below is my E4, May 25, 1964 Opal Deluxe.

The early Sting-rays came with the small upper bearing head set like this bike.
Also the chrome square back seat strut was not crimped at the two seat mount bolts.
Rear S-2 rim has the early 36 spokes.
Both tires are factory Original to this bike, dated 2nd 1/4 of ‘64.

Sold new out of DENO’S Bike Shop in Sacramento, Ca.

Nice Schwinn stuff Chris

It is interesting how Schwinn frames were used in the 1970's for home built BMX bikes and Mountain Bikes before you can buy a BMX or MTB bike.

After reading the book "Flat Tire Flyer" about the history of Mountain Biking , I built a 1953 Schwinn Hornet like the bike on the cover of the book.

I used mostly 1970s parts like they did for these early home built MTBs. Dirt motorcycle handle bars and levers, front drum brake, 1970s road bike parts, etc

I still need to get some 1970's style tires for it like on the book cover bike

Default 1965 Coppertone Deluxe Survivor

This is another favorite of mine.
It came out of the Chicago area and moved to my home in 2006.

EA68428 = May 26, 1965

Almost zero wear, mint factory paint and seat. Still wears it’s born with dated tires.
The “reverse screen” on the guard is very strong.

I really like the water slide decal on the top bar and the Dealer sticker on the seat post tube. Period Stuff.

Chris.

I love that bike. I wish you could find my old Schwann Stingray, it’s from the Chicago area, too.
