Very nice. That first pic reminds of all the bikes that got built in my basement back in the 70’s.
Yeah my first race ever was on my Schwinn Stingray. I went to the track that first race thinking ‘I had THEE bike’ but I actually had the worst bike lol.
I wonder how many riders made their first race on a Schwinn Sting Ray.

The basement
😀
what I love about the stingray pic is it even has the prerequisite bicycle chain & lock (in plastic, of course) that we all had on our bikes back then.
I never raced a stingray, my first race was ’81 on a ‘Goose, but you know that lots of first races were on bike like that.
Chris – you should have seen my basement – we always had a pile of bikes down there to scavenge stuff off of. What a mess!! But, before I discovered sealed BBs (and eventually Flight cranks) I got some of my best BBs out of those bikes. The bearings and cups were much stronger than what came stock in newer bikes.
CWCRIDER is that a Gboy or Littlejohn frame?
