Raise Your Shoes- The Schwinn Stingray Orange County Chopper Story

The 1960s and the Schwinn Bicycle Company together were responsible for a bike that was to revolutionise the industry; forever changing the types of Push Bikes that we were to use from that point onwards.
Schwinn, the dominant Push Bike company in the USA at the time, went on to produce the Stingray; their biggest selling bike in history. The Stingray, which were produced in numerous varieties, also evolved into the Schwinn Stingray Orange County Chopper in the early 2000's.

This is the story of the early days of the Schwinn Company through to the creation of the Stingray and its evolution into the Chopper form.
