Finally riding a big boys bike
I don't see why not. IIRC, warranty replacement frames could be ordered in any available color. As for whether it's really a 1973 Pea Picker and not someone's home-made creation, I would simply point out that the model had already been dropped from the consumer catalog at the end of 1972; the only models to continue, and only for just one more year, were the Apple Krate (red), Orange Krate and Lemon Peeler.I'm pick'n up what you're laying down ... never seen a 1973 Pea and would like to see another, Anyone? ... could it have been a replacement frame?
That, plus the hodge-podge of incorrect (did anyone mention the wrong pedals?) and hand-painted parts (that chainguard was nicely done, but still, hand-painted is not original) make this a nice but not convincing example of a model that didn't officially exist anyway.
