Title: Aero Stinger Info
Post by: Daletsunami on January 14, 2008, 10:57 AM

I have just purchased an Aero Stinger and can't seem to find any info on it at all? It was made by Lew-Ways @ Connick but i understand that they went bust in 1998. Just wondered if anybody knew anything about the bike or the shop?

Looks to be a generic low cost mass produced bike, in the same vein as Saxon, Emmelle, Townsend.  Sorry to say not a high quality or sought after bike  ;).

No worries i'm not really too bothered about how sought after it was, for some reason i liked the look of it as a bit of a ride around until i can start building a couple of things up and wondered what type it was. Thanks though, i beleive lew-ways were able to call their builds after Jeep's(???) so looking at whether there was a jeep called a Stinger now.
