A Schwinn Sting-Ray can be as old as May of 1963, when they first started to roll off the assembly line. The Sting-Ray is not the oldest banana seat bike to be commercially sold in America though. The Huffy "Penguin" was the first, and was sold in stores in California as early as February 1963.

What was the first banana seat bike sold commercially in America?

The first commercially made banana seat bike sold in America was the Huffy "Penguin". A California bicycle distributor Pete Mole of "John T Bill & Co." contracted with Huffman manufacturing to build the bike which featured 20 inch wheels, a cantilever frame, a white "Persons 'Solo Polo' seat", and Wald brand high rise handlebars. The Penguin bicycles were delivered to the "John T. Bill Co." early in February 1963, and store sales began almost immediately. The official introduction to dealers was on Mar.3,1963 at the "John T.Bill" warehouse in Glendale California. The Schwinn Sting-Ray was the second commercially sold banana seat (or "high rise) bicycle sold in America. It was first made in May 1963 - for the official June release of the bike by the Schwinn Corporation. The Schwinn Sting-Rays specifications were nearly identical to the earlier "Penguin" bikes.

Can you put a banana seat on a standard bike?

Yes, but the weight distribution may be wrong. A banana seat supports the rider's weight with struts to the rear axle, as opposed to the distributed weight for a regular saddle seat. This has little effect for kids' bikes but can adversely affect handling on larger bikes, carrying heavier adults.
