| My son has a 1967 yellow Sting Ray coaster bike. It has never been ridden. Still has original tires (still have extrusion tags), stickers, silver glitter banana seat. It has a beautiful shine and no visible scratches or nicks, There is a bit of discoloration on the silver sparkle hand grips. Does anyone have an idea of the value? He is newlywed and is interested in selling. |
| Do check eBay out for an idea of value and my guess it's worth at least $400.00 Good Luck |
| Pick up the price guide they sell here for $9.95. It's worth it. |
| There was aguy who was buying originl mint condition Stingrays on ebay last year, & paid $1350. for a 1965 in it's original box! |
| I recently purchased a Fair Lady Schwinn at the local D.A.V. for $5.00, it was half price day!. Well anyway it is an auqua color with white trim and original 22" whitewalls. The serial # starts with 8J0, what year is this bicycle? Thanks for your help. |
| 8Jo-could it be BJ0... then it would be 1973,made in Feb. |
| .........and I know that my family was not financially able to afford a real "Stingray", but I still ended up with a Coppertone five speed, gear shift on the top tube, hand brakes and the like. Frame was as though it was a Stingray, but I'm sure it wasn't. I didn't have it too long, as it seemed that some other fellow needed it more than I, disappearing within a year. What the heck could it have been. Not a Raleigh or Murry, unless they made a cantilever frame. The Coppertone color has me baffled though. Is/was there another manufacturer that simulated the then and now popular Stingray? Any suggestions, please help me remember what I cannot seem to piece back together. Thanks, Tim P. |
| Sure, other companies used similar colors. I have owned Huffy and Rollfast bikes in that color. I'm sure there are others. |
| I've seen a similar bike that color called a cutlass. I also have a girl's version of it. |
| When I was a kid I worked all summer for my dad for a quarter an hour to pay for this bike. He saw I wasn’t going to have it paid for by the end of summer and gave me a raise to 50 cents an hour. I got the bike and had many years of enjoyment with it, but when I was old enough to drive it was left to rust. Not realizing the rarity of it at the time, I ended up giving it along with several other bikes to an overseas charity that a member of my church belonged to. Now I want it back and will have to pay for it all over again. I can’t even find a picture of one on google but I am sure there has to be some out there that need a good home, and I hope you can help me find it. They made a regular ramrod and a ramrod II but I don’t remember what the difference was, probably insignificant. It is a chopper bike with long front forks. The closer to West Virginia the better. elsmitro AT lycos DOT com Thanks Bill |
| I just spotted a Ramrod part's bike on ebay, it's not mine! |
| Well, I lost the auction :( I bid what I thought was a crazy price that no one would come close to but I was wrong. Thanks a lot for pointing it out! I wish another one would come up for bid. Anyone else got one for sale? If so please email me and let me know. Thanks again! Bill |

Just put it up for sale. Contact me and I will get a picture to email you. I will double check the year also, I think it is a '66. I also have a blue '64, 5-speed Stingray Fastback for sale if anyone is interested. |

| I am looking for a muscle bike made in 76,77, or 78. I think it was a huffy. The bike was black with a plastic motorcycle type imitation gas tank with red and orange flame decals.

| Can anyone tell me if there was a type of musclebike known as an "Apollo" 3-speed or 5-speed back in the late '60's/early '70's? I have a memory of a sting-ray type bike with a thick, tubular frame, block-style lettering, and a shifter on the crossbar. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks. |

| I've heard about the charger, but I've never seen one. do you have a picture? does it have 24" rear wheel and 20" front? checker pattern seat? tall sissy bar? what's the serial number? I might be able to help pinpoint the year with a pic. |
| I have a Raleigh Chopper look alike, fairly good condition, 7/10. Head badge reads 'CHAMPION'. Would like to know more info about origin, made, value. Thanks....ric from Singapore. |
| And I`D love to see a picture of it! Please mail me at the www.raleighchopper.info website if you have a picture, and please keep me up to date with any info you find out. Were preparing an article about the Chopper copys for the site. CatfoodRob @ RaleighChopper.info |
| Hi CatfoodRob, at present I'm unable to sent photos cause I don't have a digital camera. I will sent you the photos once I get hold of one, by the way, I still owe the guys at Roadsters some of mine '73 Raliegh Sports and my '50 SUN clubman. I have read some pages of this discussion, and I believe you are very good regarding Choppers. Nice of you to reply to mine request. Right now I'm working on the sports, I'll try to get more details on the Chopper and post to you. Thanks again...ric |

| Hello all, it's time to pool your combined stingray knowledge to help out another bike fan. I'm restoring a '74 coaster ray from an almost bare frame, over here in rainy Wales (Britain) and need to check which parts to track down, so: - is the rear coaster hub for 1974 a bendix 70, or is there another type I should be after? - are the rims of this period just stamped 'schwinn' or is there a s7/s2 stamp as well? - what is the distance from the rear of the dropouts to the haedtube? (someone helpfully bent my dropouts inwards) -what about distance between dropouts? - what length cranks were used, mine seems very short, and is bent? if anybody has any of this info, please get in touch, or post here, so everybody can see it. thanks - kev |
