1980 Schwinn Sting
This bike is an exact replica of my 1980 racing bike with the exception that I could never afford a titanium chain back then. This has taken a long time to finish but has been lots of fun to gather all the kooky parts I used BITD. Everything but the pedal cages are original finish and decals.
