I have a late 60's or early 70's Stingray - I ride it often around our house (driveway, private road)
it's a blast to ride - big difference compared to contemporary bike ...
but gotta be careful if you get the (bad) idea to pop a 'wheelie' - anything more than a slight lean back and the front tire will be pointing at the sky
