Hi I was wondering what kind of bike this is and what it is worth.
I think it is a stingray, but I just want to know what it is worth and what it is.

You THINK? If it has a built-in kickstand, a 'lucky-7' or 5-slot mag chainwheel sprocket, '60's serial # stamped on the rear left dropout or '70's serial # on the headtube underneath the headbadge (the important factor), you have yourself a Schwinn Stingray; but if not, then it isn't. As far as what it's worth depends on its condition.

The $500-700 range is about right for a Stingray such as yours assuming that the original paint may have a few chips and still looks great in its original 1964 state. Actually i've seen some immaculate OG Stingrays go for thousands; in fact, to give you an idea of such a range, you can check out pictures of some on this site by clicking on to...(back in a few!)

1st ?: I've never seen Fastbacks, Krates, or even base Stingrays w/ 90-degree handles on them, but it could be possible. 2nd ?: Yes! There are several websites you can check out for 20" Schwinn repro springer forks or even sissy-bar shocks: www.luxurylowrider.com, and if you're jonesing for the OG items, check out www.memorylane-classics.com, www.mapleislandsales.com, or even www.ebay.com. Good luck!

I'm hoping to get any info I can about my 1976 Flamboyant Red Stingray junior. I want to restore it to O.G. condition. All parts a schwinn except front fender. The seat and grips are straight white, are these stock colors?

Though it's a possibility, mostly all Stingrays came equipped w/ sparkle-grips & banana seat matching the bike color regardless of the Stingray model like my '78 Sky Blue base Stingray.
