Schwinn backpedaling
Men of a certain age who relish the memory of their old Schwinn
"banana seat" bike may want to pull a wheelie: The company has
reintroduced this two-wheeled icon of the 1960s. Schwinn introduced
the reinvented Sting-Ray bicycle in Madison, Wis., yesterday, billing
it "The Rebirth of Cool."

Gotta love 'em. No Stik-shift, though. They were outlawed in the mid-1970s

IMO, the "new" Sting-Ray is a sop to the Harley-powered "West Coast
Choppers/Orange County Choppers" school of design. It looks kind of
neat, but I think it's disingenuous to call it a "Sting-Ray". It
doesn't even have a banana seat!

Growing up I rode:
Schwinn Sting-Ray
Schwinn Speedster
Schwinn Collegiate
Schwinn Le Tour III
Schwinn Superior
Schwinn Paramount
and then graduated to owning dozens.
