“pea picker”
This is the other Krate bike I still own.
An (HF) = Aug. 1970 “PEA PICKER”. At one time 25+ years ago I had all the Krate bikes, but have reduced that down to the above Sunset Orange and this Pea. This Krate is also 100% factory Original including the Campus Green paint and it’s born with dated tires. I found this bike hanging in an old Schwinn dealer in San Francisco covered in dust. It took a few years before they would sell it to me, but it was worth it. The paint on this bike shows a slight marble which is beautiful, that only comes with age. A few options such as the speedometer and tail light add to the classic look of the Krates. My taste for the Stingrays moved toward the early (63-66) models after I sold off the other Krates. |

Mine is a three-speed. Did you have the 5-speed or more? They had different knobs depending on the number of gears. My brother had a black 5-speed with two shifters side by side and the really tall sissy bar with the pad on top. Also, those knobs had a habit of geeting unscrewed and lost. It was hard to get a corrrect replacement T-bar knob set back then.
This was a girls version I restored for my daughter. Since there was no cross bar, they had the shifter on the center of the handlebars. |
