    Vintage 1981 Schwinn The Sting Complete Survivor Old School Bmx.
    Bike was a barn find I am the second owner behind the purchaser from the barn who did nothing with it. This bike was purchased at Bob’s Cycle Shop in Rome, Ga in 1981. True old school. Great bike mostly original. There is Pitted rust on back of forks and some minor on fork dropouts. Slight wobble in headset I assume the lower bearing race is slightly stretched and would need to be replaced. I noticed when repacking bearings it would not stay on crown so that’s the only thing I can think of unless it’s the crown itself. Frame has scratches and chips in paint but over all good condition. Used a few repop things, seat post (seat post was cut down as it was way long), seat, brakes and lever, cable and cable stays and a set of bars from a newer bike ( Bars are new, unknown brand). All bearings repacked and new chromoly axles to replace the sawed off ones that it had. Chain is newer as well but not new. Original Extra soft 80’s bubble font Ame’ grips.
    Ask questions, request pics and do your research.
    The bike is a survivor in condition of a ridden bike. The condition is consistent with a bike of 40 years old and as such will have issues with paint, chrome here in considered fit and finish.
