Local CL. I have always wanted to score a Schwinn Orange Krate but I'm not sure what the heck this is. Pretty sure It is not original per the "custom" in the ad leads me to believe more like "Franken-bike".

Any thoughts? Thanks.

At my age, I could never get away with riding that in public.

Awesome looking bike.

I couldn't either!

Maybe for my 8 yr old boy. 😎

Yea, I agree that that's not a Schwinn frame. The only thing Schwinn is the seat!! Lol

The fastback versions of the sting ray "scale up" to adult size riders, btw. I have a version that looks like this, mine's a coaster brake, and can ride it, though not far or fast (caveat: former bmx guy)

Quick scan of fleabay shows about $200 ish for coasters and on up to the moon (I'm sure this one is a moonshot)..

There is no limit to what people will pay to reconstruct their youth.

Could blow cash on far worse?
