Yes she was...And was real..REAL expensive...The next ones i ever invest in will have 1/4 turn Dzus fastners installed so if i had to install on a new frame it would keep the cost down...lol
Thanx Scottm..I have seen pictures before of the Grape Krate..It was later, about 1971 i think, along with the Cotton Picker, and the most sought after, The Grey Ghost..This probably the most rarest of the Krates..I mean what kid wanted a grey bike with all of the candy colors avaliable...
I don't remeber seeing these as a kid, I probably had a Sears or Montgomery Ward bike/ Schwinn wanna be. I enjoy the bike trips back down memory lane.
I know these are modern versions but it's still cool. You can click on the color and it will show that bike. http://www.schwinnbike.com/stingray/bike-classic.html
