2. Very very cool classics
3. Wow nice collection!! 
4. Very cool! Not only did I ride the 5 speed as a kid, I later grew up to sell them by the boat load. I was trained at the Schwinn factory in Chicago back when there still was a factory in Chicago. I was nineteen and I think the year was 1973. What memories! Great collection. 
5. did they make the deluxe stingray in a bright green? I swear mine was, and it was a 1971-73ish the catalogs say it came in campus green and thats much darker color than mine was Im looking for that bike! and it had the banana seat not the bucket.
6. 1:53 that is a good lookin bike. 
7. @geovettes (The Grape Krate was a concept that was never built by Schwinn Chicago. The limited edition Grape Krate coaster brake model was made in China in the 1990s. - In addition the Coal Krates often seen on eBay are customs built by enthusiasts and never were a production model.) 
8. @geovettes Thank you for watching. Yes, the Grey Ghost is the rarest. The Coaster brake model that I have is much more rare than the five speed stick shift version. All of the Stingrays with the little front wheel are called "Krates". They made them in multiple colors. In addition to the Grey Ghost, they made the Apple Krate, Lemon Peeler, Pea Picker, and Cotton Picker. 
9. @frequencydude Thank you for the kind compliment.
10. @aaronbassist146 - Mild rubbing compound for the paint, and 0000# steel wool for the chrome. If that doesn't work, then a repaint and re-chrome would be the next step. Thank you for watching.
11. Well thats... beautiful. I own a 1976 Suburban 5-speed, and a 1972 Varsity 10 banger. What method other than steel wool do you find useful for restoring the chrome and paint? The Suburban is bright orange, but i would like to make it shine like the sub, and has some REALLY bad rust on the wheels. My Varsity is brown, and I was wondering if there is anyway to make it... stand out. lol Thanks!
12. my brother and i have a Schwinn super Le tour with an elliptical sprocket
13. They hang on the wall in my climate controlled collector car building. Thank you for watching!
14. Interesting collection! Where do you storage all this?
