				 “pea picker” 
 
			
			This is the other Krate bike I still own. An (HF) = Aug. 1970 “PEA PICKER”.
 
 At one time 25+ years ago I had all the Krate bikes, but have reduced that down to the above Sunset Orange and this Pea.
 
 This Krate is also 100% factory Original including the Campus Green paint and it’s born with dated tires.
 
 I found this bike hanging in an old Schwinn dealer in San Francisco covered in dust.
 It took a few years before they would sell it to me, but it was worth it.
 
 The paint on this bike shows a slight marble which is beautiful, that only comes with age.
 
 A few options such as the speedometer and tail light add to the classic look of the Krates.
 
 My taste for the Stingrays moved toward the early (63-66) models after I sold off the other Krates.
