Hi all, first post on theCABE despite plenty of lurking in the past.
I am currently working on a refresh on a '69 Pea Picker, November 1969 production date. It's for a customer who just wants me to improve it where I can, but I have convinced him to AT LEAST leave the original tires, original paint, seat, etc. alone. The fenders however have been through the ringer, front one looks like it was shot at with a pellet gun about 100 times, and the rear has a hole where the corner of the slick somehow rubbed all the way through it.
The budget is realistic on this project, so I'm not coming looking for a $30 set of original fenders or anything, we will pay up for a good clean (as possible) pair. I'm not 100% clear on the intricacies of late '69 Krate fenders, so I'd be looking for an expert to tell me exactly which fenders would be needed. We are also looking for the correct rear derailleur, in good presentable shape. A clean, correct pair of the original narrow bars would also be something I'm after, as well as a good, clean, correct seat reflector.
If anybody has anything, or all of those things, I'd be very interested! Most of the other things I plan to replace are small parts, axle nuts, stem, etc and not Krate-specific.
Anyway, just seeing whats out there that somebody would want to sell. Thanks! Great forum!
