Would be called “da chit”

They had a Sting Ray in the 70's but it didn't have that springer or them tires, at least mine didn't! I think someone did a little custom work on this one.

The kid that owned that is probably driving something like this today

Had a stingray back in the day. Nice rear slick on back.
We used to go down the hilly street in my neighborhood and skid on old disco vinyl records and see who could skid the longest without wiping out...LOL

I still have an original Schwinn Apple Krate
Still has the original tires.
Went through it last summer.

This is what mine looked like in 1965. I had the first one in our town, Wish I still had it. We moved when I was 17, and Mother gave it to a neighbor kid.

Yea, Johnny, but is that a “numbers matching” Apple Krate?

Don't forget the Lemon Peeler and the Lime Crate. Many of which were 5 speeds.

They made an "Orange Krate" too, a friend of mine had one, his was a 5 speed too.

We don't change all that much as we age. We used to ride our bikes to the Schwinn shop to drool over the "Crates". Now I ride the motorcicle to the Harley/Yamaha/Honda etc. shops to drool over the new technology
