Yesterday I found a 1975 schwinn lowrider complete that was headed to the scrap yard. Thank you for this video, it's gonna come in handy
That’s awesome and it makes me happy that I can help you with this video. You’re very welcome and thank you!
This guy is the expert …..always giving good info reliable
Mighty kind, thank you!
My Schwinn fast back has a single pan seat. Seat post clamp is welded to the pan. I just replaced it with an after market cheapy.
Very informative video and your seat looks great !!!
Thank you very much! 🙂
It’s great to see these shwinn beac cruiser and sting rey’s back on the road again 👍
Absolutely! Thank you!
Yeo thank you for these videos.
Found a 72/73 stingray with GT fan mags sitting in a boat shed just rotting away, it still looks good for a 70s bike but it’s rusty, you’re helping out a lot.
Either I’m gonna paint it blue with white wall gt fan mags or green with color matching seat
I’m excited
Thank you very much! What’s the original color and how bad is the paint? It would be neat to see progress pictures if you’re on facebook
@@GoodTimeBikes it’s like a dark red blood orange.
but hey for sitting for years and being submerged in water a couple times from flooding the rust isn’t that bad
@@GoodTimeBikes Love doing projects man
Keeps me out of trouble
Wow poor ol bike lol ..Maybe you could save the old paint? It’s always nice when it can be brought back around 👍🏼
@@GoodTimeBikes facts brother facts. I’ll try for sure
Solid work
Thank you!
Love it!
Thank you!
You did a great job thanks for the video
Thank you and very welcome! Hopefully it helps 👍🏼
This is an awesome vid.
I saw an old Stingray at a tag sale and passed on it because the seat was in bad shape. I had no idea the original looking vinyl was available. Now I'm kicking myself for not buying it!
Thank you! I hope this series of Stingray videos inspires you to find another Stingray to bring back to life. It’s extremely satisfying!
@@GoodTimeBikes I had a black Fastback with the 5 speed stick. My friend had a green Stingray with the slick. I liked his better. My derailleur always seemed to need adjustment.
Well I hope you track your old bike down! I love hearing stories of guys buying their old bike back later in life. Also if you get a Fastback again I’m sure a good bike shop can get it shifting properly 👍🏼
Nice work 🤩
Thank you!!
Very Nice!
Thank you!
Great videos
Thank you! I appreciate the support!
Very nice work! Next time the warning one rider only stickers go over the metal tabs that u bent over.
Ah ok thank you!
Hey, I didnt get if you have to hold the material tight and stretch it over the pan or not? ;)
😂😂
Can you tell me where you purchased seat cover and parts for sting ray seat. ??
Go to koolestuff.com It comes as a kit. They have touch up paint for Stingrays too which might be helpful as well
Thicker foam would be nice
I have to agree with you. The old foam that I removed seems much denser and I wish I reused that instead. I still have the old foam and I’ll eventually swap it out.
@@GoodTimeBikes it looks new, awesome awesome restore.
@@JeepisJunk thank you!
Midlothian Illinois? I live 10 minutes from there. My friends mom is a police officer there.
That’s cool! Yes Illinois. So is it a crazy coincidence or did someone local show you my UA-cam channel? I record these videos at Richards Bicycles in Palos Heights! You’ve probably been to the shop before.
Where did you buy the sissy bar bushing?
It came in the kit from koolestsuff.com
What thickness foam did you use?
I used what came in the kit. It’s not thick/dense enough. If you can reuse the original foam, I recommend it. Otherwise double up the foam from the kit.
Is there a way to clean it? I have a 1970 Schwinn stingray 5 speed and my banana seat looks like that yellow
If it’s white the only thing I can think of is the Salon 40 trick. It makes yellowed materials white again. My next video includes the process of using Salon 40. I used this technique to whiten my grips.
What glue are you using?
There’s a photo of it in the video. It’s called “Sta-Put” and I got it from a local auto upholstery shop.
What's the name of the kit?
Good. But out nowhere, you sprung "The material" not previously mentioned.
I have several of those. Is there a "material" with a stripe down the middle?
Also, does the "material" limit the foam thickness??
I bought the material from koolestuff.com and if you contact them they’ll inform you for what they have available. I wouldn’t say the vinyl cover limits the thickness of the foam. Even if you used thicker foam for added comfort it’ll be compressed some what but it would still be thicker regardless.
@@GoodTimeBikes Thanks. I have the green striped with "S" logo. been wanting to work on it.
I have a 64 stingray could you link where you find your parts?
Came as a kit and I got it from koolestuff.com
@@GoodTimeBikes thank you brother great video
Thank you very much!
Where do you get the materials?
Contact koolestuff.com and tell them Good Time Bikes sent ya 🙂
Where did you get the materials from?
It’s a kit from koolestuff.com
@@GoodTimeBikes Dead link

Should have cut the fullnest out the back and pleated it. And you don't need to throw away the glue brushes. Just soak in turps overnight & wipe the turps out with a rag.
Turpentine?
not worth the mess with a cheap bush
That metal frame is horribly uncomfortable you could have used thicker foam.
Looking back at it I actually could have used the preexisting foam. It’s a resilient material and much denser. I’ve also heard people doubling up the new foam.
I got a 20' girl stingray all original.. anybody interested
You would have better luck on eBay or some of the facebook groups
