I bought this bike for $20 with the idea of using some of the parts to fix up one of my other Schwinns, but then decided to fix it up since it was in such great shape.

I wouldn't repaint it, that color is awesome, heck I will buy it off of you for $40 and you can double your money ; )

Thanks for the input. Your point is well taken that a lot of people may actually like the hot pink color, especially if the chainguard was painted to match. I'll certainly give that some thought.
I want to keep my Stingray collection in tact - at least until I get them all restored.
