CHECK THIS OUT!
Here is an unusual and HARD TO FIND 1971 Schwinn Stingray "ORANGE KRATE" 20" banana seat MUSCLE BIKE! (KH Serial Number) Affectionately known as the Halloween Bike being ORANGE and made in October 1971! 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! They are SO cool!
*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" Schwinn frame, cool wide apehanger handlebars, matching Schwinn orange hand grips, (1 split) chrome Schwinn SPRINGER front forks with S bolts, Schwinn pedals, front and rear fenders, 1-speed "Mag" sprocket, cool rear SHOCKS sissy bar and so much more! It has the cool Schwinn S7 16" front rim. The rear wheel is a single speed double knurled S-2 Schwinn rear wheel with a Bendix rear hub. Both front and rear tires hold air. The front tire is a Schwinn. The rear is a Schwinn Stingray Orange line SLIK 20x2.125" tire. (looks newer)  I dont know where you would find another like it! It is awesome! The paint looks original but has age patina, etc.  The chainguard has its original screen but looks like one from the 1990s. Seat has the Stingray tag and looks newer as well.
*I find this cool as you see 5-speed KRATE bikes sometimes but almost NEVER see the single speed bikes! Something cool, unique, and different! Great for a rider, display, restore, or add to your Stik Shifter muscle bike colleciton.
*The Krate series of bikes is awesome! (they made the Orange Krate, Apple Krate, Pea Picker, Cotton Picker, and Grey Ghost) These are awesome bikes and better than money in the bank! These bikes continually go UP in value and will make for a great investment! Even if you dont restore it, hang it on the wall or put it in your bike collection for an awesome conversation piece!
*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! It is money in the bank and will only go UP in value! 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. If you check out Ebay, the selection on any 1960s Stingray bikes is very little. 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. I got this one just like you see it. It has been in very long term storage and cannot wait to be enjoyed once again! Every single aspect of this bike needs to be restored. (chrome paint etc. see pics, I took over 30 and have nothing to hide) Chrome shows obvious age and patina. (see pics) Every aspect of the bike needs restoration but this is the basis for something great! Be sure to view all pics as they describe condition very well.
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! It is a better investment than money in the bank! If you click on any of the pics they get very large to show lots of detail BE SURE YOU READ THE LISTING CLOSELY and take a look at all pics for exact condition and email with any questions before you bid. I took many and have nothing to hide! *These bikes are cool! 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! ENJOY THIS ONE! *Sorry for the LONG description, these bikes really excite me. This awesome ride starts low with ABSOLUTELY NO RESERVE so bid early and don't miss out! This will sell to the high bidder! Sorry, no buy it now is offered. People will ENVY you when you ride by at a car show or on the street with this bike! Sold as is because it is used. 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. Your new vintage bike will be shipped partially disassembled in a factory bike box. I take them in to have them packaged so they almost always arrive in the same condition as they left us. You may want to consider insurance, just in case. Once it has shipped, I cannot be responsible for lost or damaged items without insurance. *SHIPPING TIME I ship bikes on Tuesdays and Fridays via Fed Ex.
