Vintage 1966 Original Paint Schwinn Sting Ray SLIK CHIK. Here are some of the details about this very cool early Stingray Bike. The rear rim is a Schwinn S-2 center stamped wheel with a Bendix redline coaster Hub and an early Whitewall Slik tire, the front rim is a Schwinn S-7 that is side stamped with a chrome Schwinn stamped Hub, both fenders are the correct early razor edge style and the chrome finish is nice.
The seat has its Stingray tag and is the proper style for the girls bikes that year. The rear Slik is early and may be original it has sidewall cracking but also has most of the signature yellow oval still visible, however the Slik writing on the yellow is no longer visible. The tire holds air just fine. The front tire holds air fine also, but is bald and coming apart likely original but needs replacement. Ll the Chrome on the bike is nice and very shiny, the Original Sky Blue Paint on the bike is beautiful and has a nice gloss finish.
The decals are all original to the bike except the one on the Chainguard. It looks great and matches the design of the original. Two other key features of this bike are the White Schwinn Grips and the Red 3 round rear Stingray type reflector and the Schwinn Head Badge is present and also in good shape. Serial number letters are (CB).
His is a 50 year old vintage used bike so there are typical nicks and scratches but the bike is still very presentable.
