Hi, I am looking to get a grasp on the series of Stingrays and Krates produced in or around the later 1990s. I believe their was a series of what I understand was called the Select Series which were the standard 20" coaster bikes and then Krates that were re-issued at different times by different manufacturers. I hear that some say the earlier versions or the bikes built by so-and-so were builds more accurately and blah-blah-blah.
Can anyone clarify the years, models, etc and any pros or cons what-is-what and maybe a timeline of what showed up from whom at what time...????
I have a variety of muscle bikes from a few of the manufacturers with the most being Stingrays.
I have an opportunity to purchase an Apple Krate and Grape Krate from 1999, both factory-sealed. I am interested in knowing if these re-issues have created a place for themselves and if so, how are these re-issues holding up in the collectibility field...????
