| Yea! I found a late stingray in the salvation armys' scrap pile. I bought it for a dollar. It's not bad, needed a repaint (blue) but has decent s-7 and s-2 rims with original cracked tires, and they still hold air! Banana seat is lightly split in two places, but the longest is only about a half an inch long. Pedals are great so whoever had it did not slide out all the time, like I used to : ) its single speed coaster, just like the one I favored to mess around on, (derailers also derail when they are not spose to). My question is this: I would like to know how to identify the two speed hubs at a glance, when I see one. Can anyone tell me how? |
| Your coaster, if an early 60's, will have the ultra kool 'single' Red Band Bendix. I love those...always dug the Red Band. The 2 speed 'kickback' coasters will have 3 bands on the hub. Blue, Yellow or Red...don't know the differences except some were overdrive, and some were underdrive. The brake arm usually had it stamped on. |
| Im looking for a bike i had when i was a kid i cant remember the name only that it had high handle bars, a bananna seat,and it was yellow and black im thinking maybe something like superbee,bumblebee,yellow jacket....does anyone know of this bike?? |
| I know that AMF came out with a bike in the early 70's caled an "AERO-BEE". It came in a 5,3 and coaster brake model. Not sure of the colors tho'.Hope this helps. Jeff |
| I am rebuilding a roadmaster aerobee. I will send photo when I am finished if you wish, reply to chefsd@sio.midco.net. |
| Hi all. Just picked up a sting-ray style bicycle. The bike is a Ross Barracuda, in a medium blue color. Long chrome bars, original tires [rear is rideable but splitting] chrome fenders shined up nicely and there is surface frust on the tops of the rims but nothing that weakens the metal. Front and rear brakes activated by hand levers and a shimano [!] thumb shifter for the internal 3-speed. I rode it around town today, only thing wrong is left side crank arm has a slight bend to it but it doesn't touch the frame, just enough to make the peddle angle different. This I can replace; what puzzles me is the age. Any idea how old it is? I have a '76 Schwinn Sting-Ray coaster brake, but this is the first bike of this style I've owned with gears... |
| Oops! Almost forgot! The bike's bananna seat is a white glittery color with an offset pair of black stripes running down in, one slightly thicker than the other. This looks sorta liek the old Schwinn Krate seats... anyone know how to tell if it was pulled from a Krate or if its original? |
| The Krate seat will have 3 stripes (the only real 'Racing Stripe') with the famous 'S' circled on the upper third of the seat. Schwinn Sting Ray tag rivetted on the back of the seat is the other clue. |

Single speed also. I'd like to find out more Info on CCM Musclebikes. D Smith |

| sorry for not giving mutch detail, my krate has all original parts on it, 1 the rear cheater slik is dryrotten and has cracks on the side walls, 2 the rear wheel is a 3 spd wheel but all spokes are rusty, 3 the rear fender is yellow with black stripes , it has a few small dents in it , but it's repairable, the frame is solid and true i've sanded it and put a good coat of primer , and new paint, 4 the seat is in OK cond, but the sissy bsr is in bad cond it's vary rusty , the seat is black with yellow stripes on it, 5 the front forks were yellow but they have so much rust you could see small pin holes in them. 6 the handel bars are in great shape just need some TLC and there like new again, the front wheel is missing and front fender, also all brake hardware is missing. if any one with parts reads this I need a front fork ,fender, chain guard, sissy bar, brakes, and maybe a 3spd wheel . thanks . |
| Your serial # indicates a '67. It's not a Krate as those came out in '68 and only 5 speeds and coasters were Krates...not 3 speed. Sounds like a Schwinn although Schwinn did'nt paint the fenders nor have cheater sliks unless tire was changed. Is the headbadge and decals still on the bike? |
| I just bought a hawthorne screamer 1 . It is in really good shape with a 5 speed stick and butterfly hanlebars. anyone got any ideas what this bike might be worth. |
| I found a muscle bike at the dump today, it looks like a sting ray but the badge and the sticker are labeled Camel bicycles. Has anyone ever heard of tese or have any info for me. |

| has any one ever heard of a CCM mustang marauder? I am restoring one from the late 60's. It's an orange single-speed, with a very unique "wedge" style frame, "chopper" style forks,16"/20" wheels, and a high sissy bar. What I'm looking for is info on these bikes, (pictues,value,etc). I would also be interested in buying more of these, or parts. I remember my big brother riding a yellow version of this bike with a big stick-shift, and a cheater-slick in the early 70's! Would love to find a bike like this. |
| Thats a Canadian made Bike. Do you have a Pic of the bike? My first bike was a CCM Mustang. It had the Stingray style frame, not the marauder style frame. Also on a another Note! CCM is making a new style mustang 3spd bike the style has been updated a little As it has a V-Brake on the back. But very retro looking. I'm getting one next week. D smith |
