Wore out three sets of tires already!
Just thinking out loud here.
Wasn’t Schwinn bike production around 1,000,000 per year from 1969 to 1973?
If my math is correct, then if even 10% of these bikes were Krates, which is highly doubtful, and even 10% of those Krates survived, also doubtful, then their would be around 50,000 in existence today in one form or another.
If only 2-3% of bicycles produced in those years were Krates, the surviving numbers would be far lower.
Schwinn made a lot of standard plain vanilla bikes during that time. They weren’t all Stingrays.
