1970 Schwinn Apple Krate Bicycle Vintage Stingray Banana Seat Stik S2 Muscle Red

  

1970 SCHWINN APPLE KRATE BICYCLE VINTAGE STINGRAY BANANA SEAT STIK S2 MUSCLE RED. Here is a rare original AUGUST 1970 Schwinn Stingray "APPLE KRATE" 20 Krate MUSCLE BIKE!

(HD 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 "cantalever" 5-speed Schwinn frame, cool wide apehanger handlebars, matching Schwinn hand grips, chrome Schwinn SPRINGER front forks, reflector pedals, chrome front and rear fenders, 5-speed "Mag" sprocket, Schwinn GT-500 rear derailleur, cool rear SHOCKS sissy bar and so much more! It has the cool Schwinn front rim with the correct ATOM drum brake.

The rear wheel is a 5-speed S2 Schwinn rear wheel. (double knurled side stamped) Both front and rear tires hold air. The front tire is a Schwinn.

The rear tire is a slightly newer replacement. I dont know where you would find another like it! It has the correct original paint 5-speed chainguard. (lots of chips, has a newer decal) The bike is an original 5-speed STICK SHIFT with overload tube and with operable hand controlled brakes.

This one has a newer red non Schwinn seat in place. This bike was recently discovered from long term storage! Undiscovered bikes like this are getting to be VERY few and far between! Great for restoration, ride it like it is, or use it for its very hard to find parts! That would be a shame but the choice is yours!

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 bike would need a total resto for show or enjoy it in its current unrestored condition. The bike was obviously repainted long ago. The chrome is shiney but is not perfect show quality.

Both wheels have a slight wobble when you spin them. (most every used bike out there seems to) These are AWESOME bikes! 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 talke 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.
