Yeah, and I don't think I want to buy something from a website with "something"18.com in it's URL...

I had a Schwinn " Lemon Peeler " that came with a five speed stick. When I use to hit the front brake the back wheel use to come off the ground.

Great looking Krates guys. Old bikes are so cool.

This is my old Copper Fastback from when I was a kid. Bonus shots of Mom's SS/RS air convertible in both backgrounds.

Yes, that is the other style shifter with the round head. The shifter choice also depended on what rear hub was used. There were two manufacturers that supplied the three speed hubs.

Here's the pages from a 1970 Raleigh catalog courtesy of my friend CTBob. This shows the difference in the shifters. You got the "Sportshift with Short-Thrust Ball Shifter" (the one you remember) with the Sturmey Archer TCW 3-speed hub or the Sturmey Archer AW wide-ratio 3-speed hub version. Mine has the wide-ratio Sturmey Archer AW hub with the T-handle shifter.

Kind of like M21 and M20 close and wide ratio transmissions!
