Ricky's Rides... (updated) | ||

Hey y'all. I posted up some photos a while back. I took some new ones, and I'd like to share the fresh material with my fellow Muscle Bike Nuts.
So here we have my 1968 Columbia Longboy 5 speed. This is the only one I have ever seen in the color Green. The other's I have seen on the net have been a copper-ish color. I've seen a Green Longboy in the single speed version, so that leads me to believe that this MIGHT be a single speed, turned 5 speed. This bike is not 100% complete, although, is it my everyday rider. The photo was taken in Northern California. The white line off in the distance is snow on top of the Sierra Nevada mountain range. ![]() ![]() Next up is my Schwinn Stingray Fastback 5 Speed from 1966. This muscle bike is the most complete one that I have. Only parts that arn't original is the seat, handlebars, handlebar grips, and MAYBE the sissy bar. I was told by the previous owner that the chain guard came off of another Fastback. Either way, I love this bike. Its a wheelie machine. ![]() This bike is a 1968 Columbia Playbike. Its no where near original but its still a blast to ride. Its comfortable, smooth, fast, and very maneuverable due to it's short wheel base. It has no head badge. This Columbia was the first muscle bike I ever owned. ![]() And here we have my favorite BMX bike. A late 80's Skyway 280-TA. Only made for two or three years. It's no where near original. But I don't really care. This bike is light, and VERY sturdy. I take it out the skate park all the time. I've had one person out there tell me that I needed to lose the Skyway, and get a bike like he has...which looked to be a 500 dollar bike with the 3 piece crank, huge axles, micro drive crank system, and whatnot. I said..."Nah. I rather have my Skyway than the bike you have." ![]() |
