Billohio,

That AD = Jan. 68 Orange Krate is worth about 1/2 his asking price on a good day.
Totally wrong rear tire and no rear brake. The rear caliper is missing and the rear brake cable is laying on the ground. Plus I question if the seat is OEM.
I show someone else’s 68 Orange Krate as a reference.

The very early ‘68 Orange Krates came with the rare Orange line knobby tire that I show here.
Later in the 68 year Schwinn used an Orange line Slik and in 1969 they went with a color line gripper Slik for the other color Krates as shown in post #44.

The above information is just a fraction of the changes Schwinn was doing with these Krate bikes.
