Mini Krate Schwinn Lemon Peeler 16" rear wheel 12" front: I built this up 10 years ago or so.  It was a 16" wheel Stingray frame that I modified to replicate a Krate.  Parts used include: front and rear Atom drum brakes, Schwinn % speed Stik Shift, original Krate seat shocks added to the mini sissy bar, Schwinn approved rear derailleur, NOS Gripper slick, 20" spring fork.  I tried to use parts that were as similar as possible to the original Krate series of bikes.  We've changed our focus to collecting mountain bikes so this one is now for sale.  It isn't cheap but if you add up the parts used and the effort to make it work, I don't think you could duplicate it any cheaper.  It is basically functional but it has never been ridden.  If you intend to ride it, plan on putting in a little effort to tune it up.  $895

1970's John Deere bike: We picked this one up as a local trade in and don't have much use for it.  I know there are a lot of John Deere collectors out there and there seems to be a lot of interest in these bikes. This is the 5 speed ladies version and it appears to have pretty much all the original parts including the reflectors and the grip with the John Deere logo  $150 + Shipping

Schwinn Bicentennial Bike Collection:  5 Speed Stingray, Fair Lady and Varsity: In 1976 Schwinn decided to honor the nations bicentennial by offering many of their bikes in a red, white and blue color scheme.  We are selling three of these bikes together as a collection and will not separate them.  The most desirable is the 5 speed boys Stingray which is in nice overall condition with mostly original parts including a very nice blue banana seat.  Second in line is a Stingray Fair Lady with nice original parts including a very nice blue banana seat.  The third bike is a 24" wheel Schwinn Varsity.  This is a great little bike that almost everyone of that age will remember.  It is probably in the roughest condition but would clean up nicely.  All of these bikes are as we found them and have not been cleaned up.  With a good scrubbing, these bikes would make an awesome display.  If we ever find the time, we might just clean them up and keep them!!  $895 for all three bikes plus $225 + shipping

Schwinn Corvette 3 speed: Great looking bike with the original S seat, front rack, old style 3 speed shifter, stainless fenders, bow pedals and chrome chain guard.   We did not take this bike apart or clean it so you see it in the condition that we found (very nice for non-restored).  Leave it "as is" and enjoy it or take it apart for a good scrubbing.  The Corvettes are always a popular bike for the car show crowd.  $650 click on the link to the left for 21 pictures.
