Ok, time for mods - where can I get an SC and a tune for this thing?
Anyone know where the OBD socket is I still can't locate it?

This beast came from the factory with nice front and rear suspension.
Check out the staggered wheels - puts the MM to shame.
Still has the original 5 speed tranny - never an issue

We ruled the neighborhood when I was 13

After 40 years of punishment the only thing requiring replacement is the COT plug

Hey Fastblack can I order one in a nice orange finish?

Ah I remember banana seats.

Just read an article on them about 2 weeks ago. Some of those original "banana" bikes are now collector's items and are going for $1000 and more. :up:

I always liked the Schwinn Stingrays. They're not that cheap, if you find a nice one. The bicycle bug hit me last year. I thought I started my Mid Life Crisis! I semi restored my 1987 Haro Master.

I still have my '90 GT Mach 1. Need to clean up the bars, getting a little rusty.

The only kid in my neighborhood that had one was a bully. So when I see one, I think of him and I don't like the bike.

Sweet!

I had a blue one with the larger diameter wheels from Sears.

Then fell in love with English racers. Saved all my lawn mowing cash for entire summer ($60!) and bought a like new used Schwinn Varsity. Still have it.

If I remember correctly, the rear wheel was originally a slick. Am I correct, or did my friend mod it? :D

Most of the ones i saw growing up came with the slicks.
