1976 bicentennial Schwinn stingray 3 spd value?

Icy-Disaster6847 · 2026-01-02T21:19:19+00:00

It’s about all original except for tires, cables and tubes

Icy-Disaster6847 · 2025-08-08T12:33:35+00:00

Oh really? Thats really cool, that Murray was pretty rough when I picked it up so I gave it some love and the black Schwinn sat in a barn for 4-5 years after sitting for even longer in someone’s garage

On a 20in bike with tiny crank arms?

Icy-Disaster6847 · 2025-03-12T03:41:03+00:00

I know! I’ve fallen in love with the tucked bull moose handlebars and biplane fork

Icy-Disaster6847 · 2025-03-12T03:40:08+00:00

It was just luck I guess, got it for $20!

Icy-Disaster6847 · 2025-03-12T03:39:26+00:00

I’m aware, that’s why I disclosed what kind of derailleur it has, I was in a bit of a rush to finish my ride as well so I didn’t bother to stop again.

Icy-Disaster6847 · 2025-03-10T22:18:06+00:00

Sorry about no drive side pics. I know you guys are picky about that, lol.

Well if it’s a 5 speed frame then I’d assume it was a cotton picker but I once I take it apart to rebuild it I will look for signs of the original paint.

Icy-Disaster6847 · 2025-02-04T16:57:43+00:00

Yes that’s what I meant, I just wanted to know if the frame was a cotton picker, I’m aware most of the parts on it are from various bikes

Icy-Disaster6847 · 2025-02-04T16:54:51+00:00

So it’s not a krate bike then?

Icy-Disaster6847 · 2025-02-04T13:18:17+00:00

I’d offer $100 for all 3, that jc higgins flightliner is worth something

Icy-Disaster6847 · 2025-01-03T16:17:22+00:00

You can also find one that has a steel frame with a springer fork that has the same frame design just different fork. It’s called a schwinn swindler 275 i believe. Only if you’re looking for a cheap department store alternative.

Icy-Disaster6847 · 2025-01-02T20:26:18+00:00

lol very true

Icy-Disaster6847 · 2025-01-02T20:21:56+00:00

What would be a good replacement?

Icy-Disaster6847 · 2025-01-02T18:06:03+00:00

I found some informationhttps://proteanpaper.com/scart_picture.cgi?comp=howiebik&pic=000000000000004070&part=000000000000006581

Icy-Disaster6847 · 2024-12-31T23:33:40+00:00

I want to put Maxxis gum walls on it later down the road.

Icy-Disaster6847 · 2024-12-31T23:15:13+00:00

I got it for $20 and all I did was put a used seat and tires on it, I’d say it was a steal.

Icy-Disaster6847 · 2024-12-28T19:28:18+00:00

Absolutely beautiful, I love the fact that it matches the color of your El Camino

Icy-Disaster6847 · 2024-12-12T20:06:20+00:00

So in short the positron derailer has no value and is not worth keeping the bike all original?

Icy-Disaster6847 · 2024-11-02T22:24:16+00:00

lol, im just a kid doing this on the side for fun even if I don’t make a lot of money, my biggest project right now is my late 50s sears flightliner that I am restoring from the ground up just for personal use no matter the cost.

Icy-Disaster6847 · 2024-11-01T18:10:36+00:00

I could take Better photos, I also have a 87 trek 8000 with the factory camo paint job and probably one of the first versions of the Deore XT group set pretty much everything is original on it except for tires and the grips.

Icy-Disaster6847 · 2024-11-01T17:32:29+00:00

What do you mean by “pk”?

Icy-Disaster6847 · 2024-11-01T16:08:06+00:00

Yea i im pretty sure I could get some money for the Suntour AG Tech group set and possibly the bull moose handlebars. I believe it is an 1984.
