If you have questions about vehicles or parts, the only way to get a hold of me is to call me, 8 AM-8 PM CST, no texts.
If I don’t answer, I’m probably on the phone with someone else and if you don’t leave me a message, I just assume you're another telemarketer trying to sell me an extended warranty! LOL!
If you comment, message, text, e-mail, etc., don't expect me to find it and don't expect an answer. Thanks for watching, Chad 620-786-4428
I had one just like that. It weighed a TON! If you just put on the front break you went right over the handle bars. Good times!
Chad I got a 72 Orange Krate for my 9th birthday. My dad grew up very poor so as he started making money he spoiled us with everything he never had as a kid. He equipped it much like yours plus my rear tail light had turn signals. He also had dual checkered flag mirrors and a horn. I think it cost close to $200. I used and abused it and sadly it was garage saled before a appreciated how cool it was. I’ve been looking also. I do have a repop Grey Ghost and a very original 68 Sting Ray that is exactly like my first bike. Enjoy it, it’s an awesome find, TR
Those were rare as hen’s teeth back in the day, somebody loved it and I bet it never saw any water that wasn’t warm and soapy. Great find, congrats!
Beautiful find !!!!!!!
I can't see putting that much emotion, time and energy into something thats basically a childs bicycle. I had a bare bones green coaster brake pea picker with the rear base coaster brake and drag slick from 1967 at 12 years old, got stolen 2 years later. Was more interested in my Makaha scateboard and thought nothing of riding 5 miles onto the main blvds in town in Long beach Ca.
I loved the Sting Ray and all their variants. I rode friends' bikes and found that I had to pedal faster than on my 26" bike. But, I thought they were the best looking bike ever made.
Congratulations on obtaining that piece of history.👍
That is such a great find!! Super cool 😎 So happy for you guys!!
Chad you forgot mention that they made the front sprocket to look exactly like a mag wheel. Very cool!
That’s a great find . AWESOME bike. Thanks for taking the time to share with all of us. Love watching your videos keep them coming.
very cool bike. I have all the colors (all original paint) and the 72 Pea was the hardest for me to find.
That’s awesome Chad a true muscle bicycle. Definitely one to be proud of ✌️😎👍
Cool Chad, I believe I had a knock off of those back in the 70s. I was from a family of 8 and a lot of hand me downs.
Glad you got it!
The cost of middle class living in 1972 was much better/cheaper than today.. remember we had no internet, cell phone, cable tv and other expenses..that we need today... the ratio was much better back then. I dont think many people owned credit cards back then either... totally different world.
That’s sweet. Congrats that’s a bike to be proud of! Now your a preserver of history for kids!
Nice Viper! The Krates still are a week and a half salary, lol. I just dropped $1800 on a '71 Orange Krate. No speedo on it but I have a correct NOS one for it. I've always liked the Pea Pickers but I haven't seen one for sale for years.
Being a farm kid in South Dakota back in the 60's. I never even heard or saw one of these. However recently at a swap meet in AZ, there was a Pea Picker for sale. It was very nice but I don't know what year it was and can't remember now how optioned it was. I never bothered to ask the price. Now I wish I had. Glad you finally got a great "keeper". I am waiting for the video of you riding this around the yard.
I don't know which I wanted more, a Schwinn Krate or a Honda CT-70........50 yrs later and I still feel the same.....
Flip it over and look at the bottom of the pedal assembly and there will be a serial number. 🤔 will tell you everything you need to know. Nice bike. 👍
nice bike
NICE 😮👍💯
In 1968 they came out. would go down to the Schwinn shop and sales in Grand island Nebraska and look at the line up I believe they were 109.00 at that time I was eleven 🙂
She is definitely a stunner and in amazing condition! If the tires aren't marked USA they are reproduction.
I Had One Exactly Like It...Paid $45 For It In 1982 Sold It In 1989 For $75...
🤪 I had one of them in 1972🤪
Where to go Chad you got one there
My daughter has a slick chick its purple
Is that a Seeburg M100A against the wall?
Okay Evel Knievel LOL
I’m glad he didn’t brake it 🤕
It's funny how you immediately turn into a ten year old when you ride one
Not really that rare they made plenty disc brake bike's! A nice coaster krate is actually more rare!!!
the seat is not correct on that bike
Wear helmet
On a bicycle?
