What do Schwinn Sting-Rays go for these days? We have one, and my boss likes to collect old bikes. What should I ask for it?

That an old 3.0 frame?

Figured I would post this here so that it could be easily seen by other riders on the forum.

I've decided to sell my 2011 Leader because I don't really ride it much and its a size too small for me (you can probably tell that by the seat post length).
Price? I was going to sell the frame, fork, headset, bottom bracket, and wheels to a buddy of mine for 600$ I will do the same for r3v.
So 600$ for frameset and wheels or $800 complete, I will ship but buyer must pay shipping. pm me if interested.
Its a 55cm 2011 leader 725
Leader s805 carbon fork
Iro wheels set (fixed/fixed hub)
Sugino BB and Messenger crankset
mks sylvan track pedals, with generic brand cages/ straps from benscycle
Kmc z-chain
Leader mordecai seat
Leader seat post
Random Cannondale stem (90mm)
Syntace Stratos bullhorns.

^ Dang that's nice. :( I miss my Dolan a lot. I want to get another track bike... Someday.

Meanwhile, mobbin' through the trails here on my Enduro will suffice my need to bike. :D

Thanks man. I really want to build a new bianchi super pista, ive just always loved the way they look. But... I think my next bike might be a single speed dirt jumper/mountain bike sorta thing haha.

I'm 5-11 6ft I ride a large frame for giant bikes. Their road bikes use a compact frame Design wich doesn't use traditional measurements. A baisic way to size a bike on your own is to stand over the top tube. You should have 1to 2 inches of clearance. The larger sizes also allow for greater reach.

Recently got back into bikes and went and bought this.

Specialized RockHopper Comp 29er





Loving the big wheel bikes!

^ Nice 29er! A friend just got a Stumpy 29er. He really likes it and is faster on rolling terrain.

Cleaned up my rides after a 35 mile ride Friday night, so took a couple quick pics....

[kameleon]

Cheers! the first time i rode a 26 and 29er back to back i was amazed at the difference in the way they rode.
