I had the stripped down version as well, it was a candy tangerine color. Even though I rode the snot out of it, I treated it like I would a race car today. My dad was racing in that era, so like he did with the cars, every year I did something new to the bike, like putting on a new slick, new seat, changed the color to candy red one year, etc. Man, those were fun times. Any of you guys buy one of the new Schwinn Stingrays? It's got a big back tire, it's stretched and looks like a pro-street Harley. I got one for my kid a couple years ago, and at first he loved it, then decided he liked trick-bikes better. Kids today...
