Thanks to some righteous Cabers I now have a sweet Krate lot. The quality and originality of these bikes is breathtaking. The '68 Apple from sunny California, the other 3 eatables from New York.
I reluctantly sold my only Krate to date ( 40 years of collecting) a few years back/2019 after only owning 2 years ( a gorgeous ALL original '69 Lemon Peeler) to a new local collector and was kinda jonesing for a replacement.
Well when it rains it pours. Ironically the 3 disc Krates I just bought ( Pea, Lemon, Orange) from New York were also from the same home of the '69 Lemon Peeler back in 2017. ( posted on Cabe, sold from Ray to Mark) The '69 came from Ray ( NY), sold to Mark( SC) who sold to me ( Wpg. Canada), who I sold to Dave ( Wpg. Canada).
When I showed the '69 Lemon Peeler pics ( one I bought from Mark, sold to Dave) to Ray this month, he says "that looks like my old bike"! Yup, right down to the SN# ( see pics/these are of the '69). I'll post the 4 bike line up with Lemon Peeler last to avoid confusion? Ha! I'm not sure who the old bald guy playing "pocket pool" is in the picture with the Apple
