a) 1969 model year thing. Actually ‘69 Krates used three shifter handles. All three had the 90 degree bend before the knob. 1) A straight arm with horizontal round knob. 2) A two bend arm with horizontal round knob. 3) A two bend arm with a barrel knob. That barrel knob is what they used from that point forward. b) 1968 and ‘69 used a “colorline silk” on the back which matched the bike. Yours would have been an Orange line slik. It shows in your highlighted photo. The RWL Sliks came out in 1970. BTW, the colorline Slik tires were the coolest. You could go into your Schwinn dealer and purchase a colorline superior front tire to match the rear. That front tire was extremely rare tire back then and impossible to find today. c) Collectors preference. Besides, how many of these people actually ride these Krates. I don’t, as they are show and tell only. Thanks for sharing your Krate, Chris. Last edited by 60sStuff; 03-18-2021 at 05:29 PM. |
