I am pretty good with numbers but to many here to look at trying hard to show rarity. I never did like when someone was selling an item and they stated "price is only going to go up". I used to get a few hundred dollars more for the couple of original December 1967 Orange Krates I sold in the past compared to Orange Krates with early 1968 dated frames. Some people found it kind of cool to have a 1967 dated frame on an original Krate. When a bike has been painted like this one I could be wrong, but bike may have not even started it's life as a Krate. Frame may have come from a 3 or 5 speed non Krate Stingray, I may be wrong here as I am having trouble remembering things like this and correct me if I am wrong and I apologize. My opinions here anyway for what they are worth.
