"Schwinn backpedaling"

Gotta love 'em. No Stik-shift, though. They were outlawed in
the mid-1970s

Schwinn backpedaling Men of a certain age who relish the
memory of their old Schwinn "banana seat" bike may want to
pull a wheelie: The company has reintroduced this two-
wheeled icon of the 1960s. Schwinn introduced the
reinvented Sting-Ray bicycle in Madison, Wis., yesterday,
billing it "The Rebirth of Cool." at washtimes.com20040312 115033Open ↗

IMO, the "new" Sting-Ray is a sop to the Harley-powered
"West Coast Choppers/Orange County Choppers" school of
design. It looks kind of neat, but I think it's
disingenuous to call it a "Sting-Ray". It doesn't even have
a banana seat!
