I had a plain Ross stingray-type bike that I converted to a wild custom chopper. I repainted it 2-tone metalflake (blue and lime gold) with a heavy clearcoat. I bought a long chrome chopper fork at the local bike store and put that on. My father, being an auto upholsterer years ago, at my request, made me a white button-tuffed (fake)leather banana seat that climbed up the sissy bar.
Cool. I had a stingray bike with the sissy bar. Gold. I also had a nice, sweet yellow ten speed. It was one of those that was lightweight, you could pick it up with one hand, it was weightless. The rims came off with a lever. I forget what ever happened to it.
