NOS Schwinn Krate Bikes Detroit CL

[Jay81]

I don't know a whole lot about krates, but the ad says they're NOS. Figured someone here may be interested
68 orange krate, 71 pea picker, grape krate, and a 68 fenderless stingray
they want $3900 for the lot

A black stingray? Dealer built grape Krate? I would demand documentation.

I am sure any documentation would be the same as a black stingray or grape krate...

How can you document bullsh_t? Oh wait, I think Hillary has a how to book on that subject.

well, I wasn't too sure about those two, but the orange krate and pea picker seem legit to me but I can't tell if they're really NOS or restored.

No such thing as being half a liar, but he seems to price things about right. Who knows what he's thinking.

Sorry, but there were Grape Krates. My dad worked for Schwinn and he brought one home. They weren’t stock, they were issued to top 100 dealers. So there should be more than 0 out there. A dealer would be the likely person to have one.

Not in the original run of Krates (1968-73).
