I needed to take a look at my Stingray seat stash as I have a few guys inquiring.

It took me years to accumulate these NOS and Mint used seats.

These seats are just like the bikes they were intended for, beautiful.

PERSONS (Charlie Persons) Polo Seat that was intended for various bicycles in the very early 60’s.
This “Solo-Polo” seat became famous when Schwinn decided to use it on their first two years (63, 64) of the Stingray bicycle.

Charlie must have been thrilled when that happened, $$$$.

PERSONS-MAJESTIC MFG. went on to build a huge variety of seats for Schwinn and other brands over several decades.

This NOS Dark Red Polo Seat with seat strut in the box is a one of a kind.
The box is dated 1960, just as the letter describing this ultra rare seat.

Since I was a kid we drove by this family’s bike shop. I never knew if it was even open. I saw this on marketplace and sounded like it sat in the store all it’s life. Seems high but thought some of you might want to see it

I love the warning, one rider, not two. I'd have one guy on the seat and one on the handlebars when I was a kid.

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.

Doesn't the ad above say that he replaced the rear caliper brake with an internal drum brake and that's where the cable is going?

That’s one of the many reasons this first year Krate is not a 10K bike.
