1972 Pea Picker Sting-Ray Krate with Rear Disc Brake, this bike was found in original condition and in need of some TLC and basic maintenance. The intro includes some images showing the bike as featured on the eBay listing and going through making sure all the pieces are there before restoration. This is the 3rd color of the 6 featured by Schwinn that I'm collecting and should have all six colors by the end of the year, I will be uploading videos as I acquire them and hope you stay tuned going forward...hope you enjoy it.
Great videos of on icónico bike,thanks ,sharing,we learn about them,thanks,Say hello Joe.
Thanks Jorge! glad you found the content interesting. Thanks for watching👍
Awesome! Isn't it cool when collectors finally let go of some of these crate bikes...so they can finish paying off their mortgages!! Look forward to seeing all colors together in one shot! You should try to get a hold of a Captain Kangaroo cardboard cut out to stand next to the bikes. He was a great spokesperson for Schwinn back in the day.
Yes, the Captain Kangaroo life size cut out would be perfect in the shot 🕺🚲 I imagine I might sell mine when the retirement bucks run out🙄
Very nice example, I've always liked the Pea Picker color on these frames, it looks great in contrast with the chrome and raised letter rear Slick, cant wait to see the final results. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Mark! I also noticed the Campus Green looking pretty cool on this bike, glad you liked it and thanks for watching!
The coolest bike ever! There will never be a bike that compares.. At least in my mind.. Nice work bringing back that fender! My Shwinn stuff is all rusty and it's amazing how much chrome is still there under the rust... The chrome quality is second to none.. I got a bunch of bike for free a few tears back and a lot of schwinn stuff.. Mostly womens bikes.. But at least one frame is identifying as a Mans bike now...hehe...
I agree, one of my favorite Krates 👍, and yes the chrome on these bikes clean up well with a little TLC ...Thanks for watching the videos🚲🔧
Them Tyres are in great shape for the age, love all the chrome on these bikes. Thanks for sharing pal great to see these projects. All the best Andy
Thanks Andy! these do have some nice chrome detail... I'm working on collecting all 6 colors and got 2 more to go
Great to see you...Cheers
music goes great 37 now had one 72 apple disk bike when 17 thru my 20s ,hemi of bicycles ,badest thing on two wheels with peddles
Nice! I agree, these were the muscle bikes to own in the 70's, definitely the Hemi of bikes. Schwinn used some of the same colors Mopar used on their line up, including the Orange Krate, and Lemon Peeler as seen on the 'Cuda and Challenger 🔥🔥💪💪
Thanks for watching 👍👍🔧🔧
Full Squish, Disc Brake, in 1972, that's 50 years ago! I was 14
I was about the same age👦 I always wanted one but never got one🤷♂🎅
sold everything except my '69 apple krate. the last 20 years was fun going from city to city hunting down deals and damn near fighting over parts lol. enjoy.
Nice... sounds like you enjoyed your collection and the trill of the hunt and not to mention the obsession to find the perfect period correct part... I actually have purchased a complete Krate in parts with the exception of the frame... I decided to look for a '68 Lemon Peeler and a '69 Apple Krate, that way I will have all 6 years and all 6 colors...
Let me know if you ever decide to part with your Apple Krate... Thanks for watching
I’m getting this year of bike, but an orange krate
Nice!... Check out the '73 Orange Krate ua-cam.com/video/W2GgVAjumt0/v-deo.html
These bikes had disk brakes before some of the cars from that era.
Schwinn was certainly ahead of the pack, check out how much the disc sells for

Love it love my cotton
Nice 👍🚲
Wow! I mean, WOW! These are beautiful bikes. Thanks for the memories! Question, how did you get the ding out of the fender? Im facing the same problem
Thanks 👍Glad you liked it😏🚲 for the ding, I used a mallet and carefully hammered the damaged areas while pressing against a hard surface with roundish shape (Anvil) I worked the fender like a blacksmith and flattened the dings until they were smooth and less visible. Make sure you tap it just hard enough to avoid hammer dings.
Jeez that disc looks like it's from a CB 750. Guess weight was not a concern lol.
Weight was certainly not a concern, see below;
Full floating ride with shock absorbing saddle and front fork, 5-speed gears, bucket seat, front drum brake. Sure stop disc brake on rear wheel. 20" x 2.125" Slik rear tire.
Choice of colors: Orange Krate, Lemon Peeler, Apple Krate (RED). Wt. 49 lbs.
C30-9 5-speed Stik-Shift Krate......$119.95
a lot of project going
Yep... they're piling up alright, I should have a few "after" videos as I get them done...
I have a 73 twinn deluxe I'm trying to get rid of off you're interested
Sounds nice... you should be able to get $500 to $1200 depending on condition, I personally don't have the room for a tandem but I'm sure it's a cool vintage gem...good luck
It's all original, drum brake, 5 speed. Good chrome. Original, slightly worn seats, gross and pedals.
