Just found this site!
Hoping to restore this old motocross bike but I guess I have to ID it first.
See the pictures and if anyone has any info that would be great. Thanks in advance!

At first glance it looks like a modified Schwinn Stingray to me, but I'm certainly no expert on them... I'm sure others here can help out.

Check for serial numbers on the left rear drop out and possibly the bottom of the head tube.

If it is an old Stingray, this link will help you identify the year and month from the serial number:

Anyhow, whatever it is, keep posting your progress if you restore it... Looks like a fun project!

Look, It's got early Redline flight triples! It's a very cool bike, worthy of the best effort you can throw at it. Whatever it is.

Cool post.

Definitely an import, possibly a Royce Union. Other than the paint job, pretty much stock as it came from the factory. Pretty trick

Could be Columbia, Prince or as Reilley1 mentioned, a Royce Union. It could have worn one of large number of badges.

My first bike was an AMF that looked very close to that frame, the bends sure look like the did on my frame. Mine was not euro, it was standard BB.

My vote is AMF w/ DIY gussets added.

Note to self: The euro sized bottom bracket says, "Not Schwinn!" blush.gif

Canadian or from across the pond...pretty sure.
