Wow that is awesome! Got my eye on a sweet CCM Mustang, I'm hoping one day the owner will be willing to pass it along.<br>Peace,<br>Preston<br>

<span style="font-weight: bold;">Hey Preston, thanks for the props on the Stingray bike. Yeah, who ever owned it, wanted it to be a Schwinn real bad, because the rear nobby tire and the high rise Stingray handle bars and goose neck are Schwinn made. I like it's look and road it for a 3 mile run today, smooth as silk.</span><br>

A Hawthorne?!?!?!?!?! No way! Dang I haven't seen one of those since the 70s! I had a gold Sears Spyder Before I got my Schwinn Stik-Shift<br><br>- SK<br>

My first bike...not a Schwinn but still pretty cool...like the Knievel Seat on the Hawthorne!<br><br>I present...the "GREEN DRAGGIN"<br><br><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v692/beauzoe/cb3/Gdraggin.jpg"><br><br>

<span style="font-weight: bold;">Yeah , I haven't seen one either Ross, not even in the 70s. I don't remember my mom ever shopping at Wards....lol.</span><br style="font-weight: bold;"><br style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Nice bike Colin and thanks for the props on the EK banana seat, never seen one before, cool looking and it actually is period correct for the time.</span><br>

How much are those bike worth??<br><br>Sometimes i find one here in the Netherlands but I am not so intrested in those<br>but you guys overthere seem to like those choppers!<br><br>MK

Cool bike! I just recently got into the bike scene myself but have been lucky enough to acquire these two bikes over the course of a year. My pride and joys....<br><br><img src="http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll301/Mustanger82/The%20Schwinn%20Lemon%20Peeler/0316001641.jpg" alt="image"><br><img src="http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll301/Mustanger82/The%20Schwinn%20Orange%20Krate/DSC00198.jpg" alt="image"><br><br>

Monkey Wards sold good products - my MW garage door opener still works after 38 years! Gotta love the stars'n'stripes banana seat, remember that besides Evel K there was plenty of that in the seventies as we approached the Bicentennial.<br><br>I really dig seeing these early musclebikes like this. I'll get one or two eventually but I'm too big to enjoy a ride! Only vintage bikes around me right now are a couple of rusty old girls bikes I rescued from the trashman.<br><br>

i saw one of those on Pawn Stars. stick shifts are so cool!
