Let's See Those Original Krates!

When I was growing up I really wished I could have had a Krate--any Krate but that wasn't to be. I was lucky to have a second hand Stingray that I shared with my brother for a while until we each got our own bikes. I'm not really a muscle bike guy but I do have a Krate in my collection. Mine is an original 1970 Cotton Picker. So let's see what you have. Please only post pics of original Krates (coaster or five speeed). No BFKs or later re-issues, no Mantas, Runabouts, or any other flavor of Stingray. V/r Shawn

I owned this Lemon Peeler for a couple + years ( 2016-2018ish) then sold it locally to buy more pre-war bikes. All original except headlight/ repop literature. I added some original period correct accessories/speedo, hang tags. Kinda wished I'd kept it.

When I grew up ( born in '57) in the late 60's all I got were hand me downs ( usually a 26" CCM or Raleigh) that I'd equip with a banana seat and "butterfly" high rise bars. We never really saw Krates up here in Canada, but had some KILLER CCM Mustangs, Raleigh choppers/Fastback 500's etc.

I never had one of those either but remember borrowing one from a neighbour for a test drive, did a wheelie and landed on my Azzz....
