The Sting by Schwinn – Vintage BMX Bike
Suggested retail in 1980 was 448.00
From the 1980 Schwinn catalog.
Every major BMX magazine has ranked The Sting by Schwinn as the best BMX machine that has ever hit a berm or jump. Ovalized and double-butted 4130 chrome-moly 18 gauge tubing (thicker walls at the ends of the tubes) provides more strength and rigidity in high stress areas; lightweight where strength isn’t as important; a 5-inch head tube to help withstand fork stress and reduce the radial load on head bearings; tapered chrome-moly rear chain stays to reduce weight while maintaining strength; and finished like a jewel. Combined with Team Schwinn components, anodized aluminum box rims, chrome-moly handlebars, Ouri grips, and other first class equipment, the end result is the hottest BMX machine ever . . . and, race proven by the awesome Factory Team Schwinn riders on the 1979 NBA / Schwinn National Tour.
Available in Chrome with Red Trim and Chrome with Blue Trim.
