1970 Schwinn Stingray Factory bike (Bob Devitt replica)

So this time I have gone as far back to the roots of BMX as I think we can get.

This is a Bob Devitt 1970 Schwinn Stingray factory bike, the frame and forks are the original nickel plate (only available to factory riders) and it is in lovely condition.

I absolutely love this bike and it took about 2 years to find the factory frame and forks and also to get the parts together as they were very specific parts to find.

I love the moped rims built up with heavy duty spokes and rear Atom drum brake.  It also has schwinn diamond cranks with twin speed front 3 Arrows chainrings with Union Rat-trap pedals.

Joe Buffardi in the USA also put one of these replica's together recently and that was a beauty indeed where this bike differs from his is that this one has the factory twin speed 3 Arrows front chainring with Huret two speed front derailleur and Shimano rear chain tensioner (it is not a rear derailleur just a tensioner).  Obviously also this one has OG nickel finish instead of being nickel plated. 

So this is another of my entries into the Vintage S&S category this year along with my revamped R&R and my LRV monoshock.
