Fast forward to the mid-1990's, I got into the mtn biking craze, and eventually happened across
the Schwinn Classic Forums, and surely enough a new hobby was born for me. I fell in love with the vintage Al Fritz
designs all over again. My goal was to build a varied collection focusing on the most significant Stingray models with
all my favorite colors represented. My budget didn't always allow me to buy pristine originals, so I quickly learned
how to strip, prime and properly apply Schwinn's famous candy finishes. I thoroughly enjoyed each project,
learning more and more as I progressed. I fully enjoy riding all my vintage bikes too, rather than just displaying
them in the house.
