This "KIT" provides you with all of the misc. small parts, tools & instruction to simply, easily, inexpensively turn your OCC Schwinn Stingray into a 5 SPEED w/ Stickshifter! Just like the original Stingray from the 70's! GREAT Father & Son project!
NOTE: You will need basic bicycle skills to install this kit. As axle bearings need to be reinstalled and bearing tension must me properly reset.
NOTE: IN ORDER TO KEEP PRICE DOWN - WE ARE NO LONGER USING THE MACHINED SHIFTER HANDLE.... ALL ELSE IS THE SAME BUT SHIFTER IS NOW 3/8 INCH DIAMETER STAINLESS STEEL ROD WITH ROUND KNOB ON END.... This set-up allows you to lengthen shifter if you like and also allows for any number of decorative knobs to be used - that are readily available on-line. PHOTOS OF NEW SHIFTER FORTH COMING.

Great! Got the 5 speed installed and having a wonderful time riding. It really made a difference especially on the low end - seemed like I was trying to start off in 3rd gear with the stock setup - now Smooth takeoff and shifting - have been challenging ALL the hills in my are WITH THE GREATEST RESULTS. Am putting something together for facebook on what a great setup and ease of instillation.
