This gal started off as an '82 Japanese made Fairlady- took off the fenders, added the rear slick and the Slik Chik chain guard decal, as well as the other Schwinn decals, and was going to leave it as is. But i didn't like the tube style forks- just didn't look right. Had the springer laying around, and got the repep Schwinn 16" wheel and tire set off ebay, and pow! My SlikChikrate!

Well, the title says, Poormans Krate.

I know, but it’s original, of the era, it only cost $300 dollars, and it fits me better.

I found my Dec 1969 Cotton Picker Coaster back in 1994 from the original owner who painted it red and didn't have the seat. It was white inside the bottom bracket so it is legit. I did a crummy rattle can paint job and a 90's Persons re-pop seat. I havent touched it since around 1995.
