I wish they would too. I guess I'm not as wothy as Mike 1117 or Bobcycles who got nothing but wonderfull comments . Asked for pm responses , and NO published bids.

Buyer can post his comments whenever he pleases.

442 olds said he was waiting for his shepards blessing or he would have been the owner. I looked at the last 2 krates sold on site and both were sold with out comment with NO bids published. Bike is only worth what a member here wanted to pay including delivery. Let the comments continue, but I...

You got my attention and you are getting close I had posted in another thread looking for 4K or best offer Hopefully I can pull the trigger and make a deal before I take off Friday morning for Asheville NC Pickup or delivery can happen whenever both parties agree Be gone about 10 days...

Chuck As interested as I am to make a deal , I just reread the rules and I am trying to be a good member here. No back door deals are allowed.. I suggest for now you look at all my threads which show my valuation If a moderator wishes to clarify rules to me , feel free as Im a newbie...

I appreciate the interest but No deal yet.

Leaving for North Carolina next Friday . If it would help make a deal I would bring it with me. If I dont make a deal I will either keep it or take it to the Big Bike show which is coming up in a month which is now in Monroe instead of Ann Arbor and put it in the show again or Bike corral

Still cold ..Going out for a while. Will check site later No deal

No Deal , Thanks for looking

Sorry, NO deal but thanks for looking

Well , I pulled the trigger and posted my Krate in Deal no deal. Let's see what happens Thanks for all the advice guys Dave

Have decided to offer my 68 Apple Krate for sale Had since new , Used for about 5 years than put away in basement ( Dry). Low serial number , First Apple Krate sold thru Smith Bicycle Shop, Berkley MI. Front wheel light generator and derailer guard were installed at time of purchase Only...

Had a 455 Olds in my Jet Boat built with Mondello guts. Krate got lots of attention at custom bike shows. Picture of Ron Finch on my bike with Krate next to it

Thanks I knew it was not accurate at 59 ..Just found it amusing . My curiosity was for the serial number for first Krate and First AppleKrate to see where mine was . This is common practice among classic car collectors to see how low the number is vs how many built and with what option...

I looked up my serial number ED28878 It says my bike was stamped June 1rst of 1959 Must have been a real early Apple Krate LOL

Thanks

I'm curious. Is their a log / history log of serial numbers as to start and end of bikes / krates built for each years production

Hoagie 57 Thanks for the history lesson on my Krates Pedigree

MRG Sounds like you and I and I'm sure others here shared a lot in common growing up. I lived and breathed Models of all kinds , And then slotcars were a obsession ..Bikes for sure. I lived on my Apple Krate everyday. Just look at the seat with the stripe rubbed off. Then Gokarts, Mini bikes...

AS noted I'm not a expert but I do remember the Orange Krate was on the dealers floor before I saw a Apple Krate available

Thanks for the advice. Next question as a newbie Im trying to come up with a value . I have done some research and have seen numbers from 1300 to 10 Grand ..Needless to say all could be right or way off in both directions . For a one owner krate with early build number , and all there I'm...

So I was planning on polishing the chrome and brightwork and waxing the paint. No paint work.. I would think that would be a good thing . Am I wrong . I don't want to hurt the value if detailing it will do that . Selling is probably going to happen as trying to downsize my stuff including...

Mid year OK .. So mine is a early model being dated May That jives with mine being the first the dealer had Thanks Dave

Any idea as to when Apple Krates were released for sale ? Which month ?

Ok thanks alot. The seat is original to the bike, and was well worn by my butt shining the stripe right off where I sat LOL The bike was the first Apple Krate at my bike shop where my Dad did business. I was going to get the Orange Krate as that was all the dealer had up to that point , but...

I have posted in Birds of a feather so this is a follow up I have been going thru the site and have found enough information to make my head explode. All for the good thanks. So my Apple Krate is in the basement where it is in long term storage and lighting isnt the best so I took a flashlight...
