Sting Rays offer the kids nothing that a much more useful BMX bike
doesn't already have - at a better price.

I have no clue what this bike is supposed to do, other than lose
money. The collector market for usess and non-original throwbacks
can't be big enough to overcome the, well, uselessness of having such
a bike.

The thing about this type of bike, and lowriders and clunky fat tire bikes with
fenders and fake gas tanks, is that kids can just cruise around on them. These
bikes are not projecting that 'I'm ready to ride my BMX down the stairs" look.
It's more the "I'm chillin'" look.

Agreed - probably no collectible value if they build these in huge numbers.
But there is still a market for these and other "I'm not Lance Armstrong"
bicycles.
