"The Sting-Ray is an American icon, a legendary bicycle," says Greg Blake, Schwinn's director of new category development. "People kept asking us to bring it back, so we did, with attitude."


Available in a range of colors, dripping with chrome and fitted with a rear tire big enough for a motorcycle, the 20-inch bike sports a studded banana seat and wishbone kickstand and retails for about $175.

The new version, available at big retailers like Wal-Mart and Toys "R" Us, is geared toward 7- to 13-year old boys. But Moorman says the bike holds such nostalgic appeal for baby boomers that an adult model, a girl's model and even a Sting-Ray tricycle are all currently on the drawing board.

Schwinn peddles new Sting-Ray--with attitude

Quoted from Chicago Tribune Newspaper
April 19, 2004

Schwinn hopes a whole new generation will want the company's reinvention of the classic. The updated Sting-Ray, cruising into stores this month, pays homage to the original but features plenty of updated bad-boy character. Available in a range of colors, dripping with chrome and fitted with a rear tire big enough for a motorcycle, the 20-inch bike sports a studded banana seat and wishbone kickstand and retails between $169 and $179 at Wal-Mart, Toys "R" Us and other mass retail stores.
