I don’t know why they didn’t paint the seat white as well.
I mean, if you’re gonna screw something up, do it right. Sheesh…

This guy has nothing on don_juan1961‘s latest Cotton picker masterpiece:

Custom 1972 Schwinn 5 Speed Cotton Picker Krate Stingray Bicycle With Disc Brake | eBay

They look fantastic with this bike. Of course this bicycle would not officially be a classic Schwinn Krate Stingray bicycle unless it had a rear black tool bag attached to the sissy bar. This bicycle has an original Schwinn Approved tool bag and it is in good shape.

I'm intrigued as to how they squeezed that five speed "Mag" sprocket under a coaster/ three speed guard. First gear could be interesting!

I give these guys an A for effort but for me I’d rather have no artistic charm put into my bikes at fine art pricing! I like the patina on my bikes and on my 71 year old body! Ride on, brothers!
