First year 5 speed Krate was 1968. These had no front fender.
Second year ‘69 of Krate now had a front fender.
Schwinn advertisements of both the ‘68 and ‘69 5 speed Krates shown.
These two years came with a color line Slik or Gripper Slik to match the bike color, very Kool !

As in most cases the early Super Cars and Muscle Cars of the 60’s are the hardest to find in nice “Unrestored Survivor” condition along with being the most expensive.

Same holds true for the Schwinn Stingrays, especially the early (63,64,65) models.
Factory Original Paint, seats, chrome and tires are paramount.

Here are some Originals with most having their dated born with tires.
