The Lemon Peeler is part of the Sting-Ray family of bicycles, one of the most popular and beloved bike designs for generations of Schwinn riders. 28, 2017 - Schwinn, a brand of Dorel Industries, Inc., today released a limited production run of 500 Schwinn Lemon Peeler bicycles. Schwinn to Release Limited Production Run of the Iconic Lemon Peeler Sting-Ray Bicycle Follow the jump for the official word from Schwinn. We’re kind of hoping if this goes well that they will release some other colors (and five speeds), as well. Doesn’t it? The Schwinn Lemon Peeler will reportedly be available from soon for $349.99. Owning a re-release is not the same as owning a classic, but damn, it looks good. Additionally, the bike is equipped with a striped banana seat, fenders and a coaster brake. The limited edition Lemon Peeler will feature a spring suspension fork, a Schwinn 16-inch front wheel and a 20-inch Sting-Ray Slik rear tire just like its original counterpart.

And we’re still bummed that by the time we turned 13 we’d painted it black and turned it into a BMX bike.īut there is hope. By the time we were finished customizing, the bike had curled out bars, a monster sissy bar, and a shock up front. Since we already had the bike, we talked our dad into helping us upgrade. We had friends who had Apple and Orange Krates and we longed for the accessories (especially the gear shifter with the big 5 on it). Our first bike was a beautiful, stock, metal flake blue Schwinn Sting-Ray coaster with matching grips and a white banana seat.
