Arguably the hardest ORIGINAL Krate to find. There's plenty of sub-par "restored" spray painted Cotton Pickers out there but finding a nice original is just as hard as a Grey Ghost.
A long time member of my collection that's been completely disassembled, cleaned as best as can be without going overboard and reassembled in perfect working order and correct (I can't state that enough) March 1970 Schwinn Stingray Cotton Picker 5-Speed. Every piece of the original hardware was replated in cadmium just like oem Schwinn for a fresh look. All hardware (bolts, screws, washers, fender braces are correct Schwinn) no aftermarket hardware on this bike. NOS cables were added. Tires are original USA Schwinn.
Paint has zero touch-ups as that's blasphemy imo for an original bike. All chrome is original to the bike and is in great shape that's been thoroughly polished.
I'll let's the pics do the talking. This bike is on display at Blue Moon Bikes in Sycamore, IL. I'd much prefer local pickup rather than shipping. If it needs to be shipped it's a flat rate with professional packing, insurance and signature is required upon delivery.
