    True not a muscle bike nor a real Schwinn as I not into Pacific Cycles bikes but what triggered me was the front wheel part a well known name "Sturmey Archer" drum brake. These bikes when came out in 2020 were $700 bikes online and later Amazon. Not worth that even half or free lol. But got this one for $200 new just used on some photo shoot 30 miles from me and stored away. It rides nice and just a cruiser ride bike nothing special as it is made horrible but it is what it is. One can buy these now online for $500 lol.

    Actually I should of said, "semi" new on this 2020 Orange Krate 125th anniversary. The Stingray bicentennial I meant to say replace the reflector bracket I made for it and replacing it with the correct bracket.

    Sears light yes if you find a Sears light corroded but it for the amber lens for parts. I fixed one in the past a Pumpkin light nice one missing 1 amber lens and replaced it no one knew the differences lol.

  • @sting64az
    @sting64azАй бұрын

    There were a few other brands with amber markers but the Sears battery headlight looked very close and works. I would recommend if you find a non working Sears light on auction or elsewhere use a lubricant and spray on each side markers let it set and carefully from the inside pinch one end and it will pop out and carefully installing on pumpkin light not to crack tabs.

    eBay seller "Bicyclebones" has two listings of these Krate fenders. One listing is what he titles "Ok plating" for rider and the other is his "quality". fenders. These are his "Ok plating" but with some polishing you can make them a tab nicer.

    That is Pacific Cycles for you owners of the Schwinn name nothing more than that. Schwinn been gone since 1991 and thereafter owned by Schwinn Cycling and Fitness till 2001 then the end of the era. Today it is what it is.

  • @sting64az
    @sting64az6 ай бұрын

    The color even back to the 1998 re-issues were not correct colors as they were back in the days. Schwinn Cycling and Fitness brought these back Krate coasters since 1972 last time they were out. The frames on the 1998 were spot on just not the paint color among other details of the bike. These 2020 are Pacific Cycles creations which all of their Stingrays when they took over in 2001 are horrible. I only bought this as it was cheap $200 an offer, I message the local seller and he accepted it. I only like the Sturmey Archer front drum brake and this bike was only used as a prop at some local fashion event and then stored for a few years in a warehouse.

    Post some pics and describe the parts and hardware you might need to put it back together. I find out sometimes maybe cheaper to find parts in groups then auction site. But either way I done well on both just have to set up a budget and slowly work on it.

    I worked in the factory that made the reproduction Black Phantom bicycles. I did the pinstriping of the tanks and chain guards. The factory was in Ontario, California. The Kirkbride family ran this factory. The frame welders were in San Bernardino, and the powder coater next door to the factory. It was a pretty amazing operation. Factory location near Franklin and Grove off the 60 freeway.

    +Leifberg Studios That is a good price. These pre-war 40's re-issue were less then $30.00 back in 1996 when they came out. Now most of Phantom re-issue parts have triple the original prices. This one i seen go off over $250.00 on ebay several years ago.

    I believe the balloon tire frame was not the same size as you think you're probably thinking of a middleweight frame but the balloon tire fenders would not fit inside the middleweight frame actually the frame is it design from the 1946 Schwinn B6 autocycle.
