Inspired by the custom chopper culture of Southern California, it brought low-slung banana seats, high-rise handlebars, and motorcycle-style attitude to the American bicycle market. The Junior model brought that same spirit to younger riders — same soul, smaller scale. By the early 1970s, it was the bike every kid on the block wanted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhether you’re a serious Schwinn collector, decorating a garage, man cave, retail space, or studio — or looking for a restoration project with real character — this bicycle is ready to tell its story.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuthentic vintage Schwinn Junior Sting-Ray — early 1970s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal Campus Red frame finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClassic banana-style seat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTall rear sissy bar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChrome steel fenders — front and rear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal Schwinn head badge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal \u003cem\u003eLil Tiger\u003c\/em\u003e Junior Sting-Ray chain guard with decal graphics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVintage Michigan bicycle license — No. 1358 — still attached\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClassic 20-inch coaster brake design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreat display piece or restoration candidate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGood original vintage condition.
