1968-69 Schwinn Apple Krate Stingray Vintage Banana Seat Muscle Bike Stik S2 Red

  

1968-69 SCHWINN APPLE KRATE STINGRAY VINTAGE BANANA SEAT MUSCLE BIKE STIK S2 RED. Here is a rare original December 1968 Schwinn Stingray "APPLE KRATE" 20 Krate MUSCLE BIKE! (MD Serial Number) This bike is from the era when most everything was cool!

The HEMICUDA, Mach 1 Mustang, and Camaro Z-28 come to mind! This is agruably one of the very COOLEST Schwinn bikes of all time! EVERY kid wanted one back in the day... Few were lucky enough to own one.

You did not see them often back in the day, and almost NEVER see them in any condition these days! They were designed after the drag racing muscle cars of the time! They hit the nail on the head with this one! The bike is LOADED with cool options only found on the top of the line "Krate" series at the time.

The bike has the cool correct ORIGINAL PAINT "cantalever" 5-speed Schwinn frame, cool wide apehanger handlebars, (chrome is not the best) matching Schwinn hand grips, chrome Schwinn SPRINGER front forks, (does not have S bolts) cool Schwinn BOW pedals, chrome front and rear fenders, 5-speed "Mag" sprocket, cool rear SHOCKS sissy bar and so much more! It has the cool Schwinn S7 front rim with the correct ATOM drum brake. The rear wheel is a 5-speed S2 Schwinn rear wheel.

Both front and rear tires hold air. The front tire is a Schwinn.

The rear tire is a slightly newer Schwinn raised white letter SLIK tire. I dont know where you would find another like it!

Though it is not flawless, I think the paint is respectable for a nearly 50+ year old BOYS bicycle! Love original paint krate bikes! The chrome is shiney but not perfect show quality. (see pics, would need resto for show) It has Schwinn repainted Classic 5-speed chainguard. The bike has the cool 1969 only 5-speed STICK SHIFTER and with operable hand controlled brakes. (YES, even has the overload tube in place) I think this style shifter is super comfortable for riding! Could use standard fine tuning. Seat is cool but I believe is 1990s. Includes the cool little Schwinn bell shown. I LOVE the Krate series of bikes! The Krate series of bikes is awesome! These bikes continually go UP in value and will make for a great investment!

This bike was found in Iowa long ago and has been in Wisconsin in storage for many years! I took MANY pics and have nothing to hide! Be sure to check them all out! Now is your chance to own one of the COOLEST bikes EVER MADE!

Make someone in your life happy with this one. This is a cool bike that you can enjoy for years! You RARELY find these bikes anymore! They were all abused and thrown away back in the 1970s-80s.

Finding one these days is a big challenge. They are very cool and people enjoy owning, riding, and displaying them! Most people do not sell these bikes once they have them. Be the first to get this bike back out in the light and have fun with it! I believe this to be a fairly nice original unmolested bicycle unless otherwise noted. This is a legendary bike! The paint is original but does have obvious chips scratches wear age etc. The chrome is shiney but is not perfect show quality.

(chrome could use a serious detail or restoration) Both wheels have a slight wobble when you spin them. (most every used bike out there seems to) View all the pics and let me know if you have any specific questions. I have nothing to hide! Most people do not sell them who have them. I hope you love it!

Take good care of this bike and it will only go UP in value! Flawless originals sell for thousands of dollars!

Own this one for much less! People will ABSOLUTELY LOVE seeing you riding this one! Take it to a car show or cruise night!

People remember these but never see them these days! People will talk about you and your cool bike for years! Sorry for the LONG description, these bikes really excite me.

People will ENVY you when you ride by at a car show or on the street with this bike! I try to list anything I notice with the bike. Keep in mind this is a vintage bike that has probably not been ridden for a while so it may need minor tuning, bearings greased, polishing, etc, These bikes are getting harder to find and are more popular than ever before! You will enjoy owning, riding, and displaying it for years! People always remember these bikes but seldom see them in person. I take them in to have them packaged so they almost always arrive in the same condition as they left us. They are all available right now! I try my very best to describe as accurately as possible.
