Forget about trying to source a beater and refinish it, now you can get a brand new Schwinn “Lemon Peeler” Stingray for $350.
“The Schwinn Lemon Peeler is one of the most recognized Schwinn bikes,” said Milissa Rick, Senior Director of Marketing for Schwinn. “We are excited to make this bike available to those who always wanted to own a Schwinn Sting Ray. This is an opportunity for us to also share our story with a new audience.”
Skid past the break for details…
This remake features all the same tricks that made it such a popular ride back in the 1960’s – a suspended saddle, suspension fork, fenders, coaster brake…
…and a glittery, racing striped banana seat.
Ape hanger handlebars, a 16″ front wheel and 20″ rear with Stingray tire polish it off.
Only 500 are being made. So, if nostalgia’s kicking in, or your kid just needs a bike that stands out, order quick once they go live. It’ll be available on Amazon shortly for $349.99. Which begs the question: Is a peeler you can’t get at your dealer a win for Schwinn?
UPDATE: The first batch is already sold out, next batch will be available in late April (around 4/24 if you wanna mark that calendar).
