squishie asked:

I recently purchased an older 20″ street/casual riding bicycle at yard sale this past weekend. There are no labels on the bike to tell me what brand of bike this could be. We had suspected it to a Schwinn Stingray. The bike was repainted by the previous owner, so I can not see any serial numbers. It is a single speed bike with a pedal brake system. I noticed that the bars that run across the sides of the frame near the top taper at the tips near the neck. Whereas on a Schwinn they seem to not taper at all. I’m just curious as to what kind of bike this could be. Murray, Huffy, something else? Can you help me?

(Last link I used didn’t work)
The person I bought it from said that he thought it was a Schwinn but that there were copycats made around the same time the original Stingrays were made. So he wasn’t exactly sure if it was or not. Why would the side rails be tapered when in all the Schwinn pix I see they are not? Also the mount for a rear brake sytem is traight but on the Schwinn pix I have viewed is curved? Is it the year that I’m looking at?
If it is a CCM…do you know the name of the style of the bike. I am just curious as to the history of this bike. If it’s worth about $30-$40 in current condition I got a decent deal. I paid $15 for it!
I still like the design of the bike regardless as to whether it’s a Schwinn or not!
