Here is the girl’s version of the Schwinn Sting-Ray, the Fair Lady.  The color is holiday rose, and it also has a nice flower banana seat.  Wheels are 20” with a coaster brake.  Fenders match the steel step through style frame.  Same Sting-Ray style bars as the boys bike.

  1. I didn’t have a floral seat and don’t recall the color, but this looks like design of my bike. Gotta add tassles, a girly baster, license style name plate, and cards in the wheels (held on with clothespins)!!
