I have owned more than ten of these and my friend has a basement FULL of these and Krates with the tags still on them.
It's all about the welds on schwinns.
The real stingray slik was real cool too.
The history is interesting too.
The banana seat was invented for bicycle polo.
Schwinn, (or maybe troxel) ordered thousands of banana seats in anticipation of a bicycle polo trend that didnt happen.
they used the stock on the stingray; and it became popular.
I preferred the Ross Apollo 5 speed myself.
Apollo was the type of bike= A polo bike; but also handy because of the space race.
