Mt bikes had not yet become a thing, but were about to. This is what I came up with, still in originally built form from 1980. It would be cool to motorize, but I think I'll keep it as is, maybe not even restore, since it's a piece of history. Could be the first ATB (term used before Mt. Bike) in the East. I do have some other old Schwinn frames to build something different from. The whole cool bike thing has really exploded and so many parts available, I'm dying to get into it

Cool Bike. Old trucks as bike haulers, just go together. At every car show I've been to in the last few years, I've run into someone that is also into Custom Bicycles. I intend to always have a couple in the back of the truck when my wife and I go to shows. This is a '65 Stingray I put back together for our Great Grandson. Notice the color choice...….HaHa...…..
