1970 Krate Frame

1970 Schwinn "Ape Hangers" and standard gooseneck

Schwinn Springer Fork

16" S-7 w/ Atom Hub

20" S-2 w/ Shimano Disc Brake

Schwinn "Mag" Sprocket

Reproduction "Pete Seat"

5 Speed

Originally received this bike as a Pea Picker in poor condition. It was just the frame, fork, and rear wheel. Purchased the original shifter from the seller later on. Reproduction parts include: Fenders, Chainguard, seat, and springer sissy bar. Not pictured yet is the Shimano rear disc brake. I also removed the speedometer because it was slowing the bike down too much. That will be put on the coaster Cotton Picker later. I have ridden this bike 25 miles to the beach on a couple occasions.

For a moment I thought that the shifter was an alternate seating position... 8-0
