Yep, Another small hobby I have, is collecting Schwinn Chopper Sting Ray Bikes. I have three of them so far, and finding others is kinda hard where I am located. Shipping is $$$ when you find one. The three I have, were found local to me, so that's why I got them. I do add some small extras, like changing the hand grips, adding small leather bags, and even front headlights. Now, I am looking for high chopper handlebars. Granted, they are for kids, but adults can ride them (I do). Here they are: This is the first one I bought. Here, you can see what I added to the front. This one is the second one I bought. You can see here, what I added to the front. This one, is the last one (my third one) I bought. You can see what I added to it, but the handlebars were what came with it. I like these bars the best, as it makes it easy for me to ride the bike (the other bars on the other bikes gets in the way of peddaling the bike). On all the bikes, I changed the handlebar grips to something different. If you look at the second one up close, they are like shotgun shells. All the bikes have custom valve stem covers, and all are different. I can't wait to get a real chopper, so I can spend money on all the dress up stuff. ;D Ha! Anyone else have bikes they like? George

I have one of those OCC bikes I'm going to sell now if you're interested. It's missing the fork blades and rear tube but otherwise its brand new , even still has the cardboard advertising in the wheel. Never been ridden.
Also you can buy apehanger or regular high riser handlebars at your local bike shop. They should be cheaper there than online or mail order. (I owned a bike shop 25 years)

Thanks for the head's up on the handlebars. Can you get a picture of your bike? I'd like to see it. George
