Talked to a buddy of mine today and asked him about his bikes. I asked for his opinion on which one he thought would go with a bad ass 69 copo black with yellow interior car for a display. He said he had 4 original paint schwinns. 2 lemon pickers, a cotton picker and a pea picker. What do you want to see? Grey ghost?

Since the Krates were made from 1968-1973, I am hoping to have at least one example of each color and year without bringing in my own. We have several lined up already.

The variations are;

Orange Krate, Apple Krate, Lemon Peeler, Pea Picket, Cotton Picker and Grey Ghost.

Bikes were offered as the popular 5-speed shifter version or as a single speed coaster all years. A little footnote is that in '73 only, they offered the Orange Krate in Sunset Orange, which is slightly darker. Disc brakes were standard fare for the 5-speed versions in 72-73 only, making them the most desirable and the Grey Ghosts are considered the lowest production.

Contrary to popular belief, the factory did not produce a Grape Krate or Coal Krate back in the day, but plenty of variations of the newer reissues have been offered and many &quot;clones&quot; have been built over the years.

Bring 'em on!
