1973 SCHWINN LEMON PEELER KRATE BIKE VINTAGE STINGRAY BICYCLE STIK WAS DISC 70s

  

1973 SCHWINN LEMON PEELER KRATE BIKE VINTAGE STINGRAY BICYCLE STIK WAS DISC 70s. Here is a rare original Sept 1973 Schwinn Stingray "LEMON PEELER" 20 Krate MUSCLE BIKE!

(KJ Serial Number) This is the latest Krate I personally have ever seen! I have a July 1973 in my own collection and this beats it by 2 months! 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, cool Schwinn pedals, chrome front and rear fenders, 5-speed "Mag" sprocket, cool rear sissy bar SHOCKS sissy bar, and so much more!

It has the cool Schwinn front rim with the correct ATOM drum brake. The rear wheel would have been a Schwinn DISC BRAKE S2 rear wheel. Long gone and has a non Schwinn 5-speed rear wheel in place. This is how I got it Both front and rear tires hold air. The front tire is a Schwinn.

The rear tire is Schwinn raised letter Slick tire! I dont know where you would find another like it! Though it is not flawless, I think the paint is fairly ok for a 40+ year old BOYS bicycle!

The chrome is shiney but not perfect show quality. It has the correct original screen 5-speed chainguard. The bike is an original 5-speed STICK SHIFT with overload tube and with operable hand controlled brakes. (will need basic adjustment) I rode this one a couple times with my daughter in my driveway and man, it is FUN! This one has its original Schwinn Lemon Peeler seat in place.

Has rips and weird fading from an old bumper sticker being on the top of it. The derailleur was replaced with a NOS non Schwinn derailleur. My guy added the rear brake caliper and lever. Otherwise, I believe this bike to be mostly all original parts from when it was new.

(see pics and be your own judge). This came from a local family who got it 2nd hand in the 1970s. This one has NOT been owned by all the collectors!

It has been in storage for a long time and cannot wait to be enjoyed once again! I have owned this for a couple months and have really had a hard time deciding to part ways with it. I hope it goes to a good home!

(not someone who will use it for parts). 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.

The bike is not bad considering its age. It would need a resto for show or enjoy it just like it is! It is a great look!

I have had this one on display inside my home and people LOVE it! The paint is original but does have obvious chips scratches etc. (see pics) 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! I have owned a July 73 for 15+ years and it hangs on my wall! Everyone that comes here LOVES IT! Most people do not sell them who have them. I hope you love it!

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. The item "1973 SCHWINN LEMON PEELER KRATE BIKE VINTAGE STINGRAY BICYCLE STIK WAS DISC 70s" is in sale since Thursday, May 19, 2016.
