1998 SCHWINN APPLE KRATE MUSCLE BIKE FRAME CHAINGUARD +MORE STINGRAY VINTAGE 98. Here is a hard to find original 1998-99 era Schwinn Stingray "APPLE KRATE" 20 muscle bike FRAME CHAINGUARD AND MORE. (JAK10881 Serial Number) These bikes are truely iconic! This bike is from the era when most everything was cool!

The HEMICUDA, Mach 1 Mustang, and Camaro Z-28 come to mind! The original Krate bikes were one of the most successful series of bikes ever made by Schiwinn!

Every kid wanted one,,,, few were lucky enough to get one. They were so iconic, they made a high quality reporuduction of the bike in the late 1990s! This is about the nicest example you can find!

Few were made and most of them are in private collections. They are rarely offered for sale. They also made a Black Phantom in the 1990s. They were also a low production, high quality bike! The perfect ingredients for a good investment!

WHAT YOU SEE in the upper pics is what is included. Includes the original paint frame, Schwinn head badge, original screen Apple Krate chainguard, cranks and sprocket, (pedal threads are true) headbadge, kickstand, seat post clamp, chain, front bearing cups and everything shown. Bike shown in the last pic is for REFERENCE ONLY! The paint looks nice and does NOT have "fork knock" (chips where the springer bumped into the frame).

This ORIGINAL bike itself has all the "bells and whistles" just like the original. It has the famous original Flamboyant Red Schwinn paint and decals, original Apple Krate chainguard, front SPRINGER FORK, rear sissy bar with REAR SHOCKS, tall apeahanger handlebars, cool Schwinn hand grips cool original banana seat with the factory "S" (Schwinn) racing stripe, and everything you see! It has chrome fenders front and rear and the 20" rear and 16" front wheel. They were designed after drag racing cars of the late 1960s!

Check out the awesome raised WHITE LETTER SLICK rear tire! Absolutely EVERYTHING about this bike is cool! The bike is an original single speed with operable brakes.

Maybe you have a bike that has been repainted or the paint is rough. RIGHT NOW I have this bike listed in parts on several separate listings. (see other listings for lots of available 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.

NOTED FLAWS It is not 100% flawless but is nice! The paint looks fairly good for a 25+ year old boys bike! (may have some chips or scratches from age but nothing overly serious) Bike is a nice survivor and has not been used much since new.

See pics and be your own judge. I took MANY and have nothing to hide!

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! Orange krate I try my very best to describe as accurately as possible.
