I came across an auction for a Schwinn Stingray, which was identical to the one I received for Christmas in the late 60's. I loved that bike. Rode it every day, polished it, and added all the gaudy trim. Streamers from the handlebars and playing cards pinned to the spokes. I can still remember the sound of those playing cards clicking as we raced down the hill to the corner market, and the day we went to the Mom & Pop bike shop by the beach to pick it out. It's all still very clear to me...
Now why can't I remember where I laid my keys or reading glasses? :(
