lima is full of schwinn bikes that have survived the times, and the rust of the coast, but there is only one model present: the sting ray. most of them have monkey bars and have been repainted several times and are being used by old men and women who pedal them around making deliveries. i imagine that only the sting ray was imported and more 'adult' bikes, like the varsity or suburban, weren't. my neighbor had a blue metallic sting ray with straight bars and a knobby rear tire when i was a kid. kind of sting ray gone triumph rambler. his was the stripped down version, while another kid at my school had a cadillac model with five speeds and the big gear shift on the main crossbar. how wild.
