Sez Schwinn,
Grab your shades and turn up that transistor radio — the Schwinn Krate is back! With an aesthetic descended from drag racers and rocket ships, the Schwinn Krate oozes more vintage flair than your favorite retro binge watch.And it’s only (?) $755.99.
I had a copper-colored Sting-Ray as a boy — so cool, even if it had nothing more than a single gear and a pedal brake. It did have a banana seat and high-rise handlebars and a SLIK rear tire (no tread). That spelling still appears on the tire, though the Schwinn website drops the all-caps and adds a c to the tire’s name. Heresy!
Thanks, Seth.

schwinn used to be THE bike to have. my brother had one of the sting-ray also and learned how to pull wheelies on it. i found them annoying as my legs are longer than his.
congrats on them naming a bike after your blog.... ha!

Those handlebars made wheelies a cinch. And the frame was perfect for securing a basketball when riding to the courts.
Is that metal cylinder to the left a shock absorber? If so, that's pretty advanced.
Don’t know. The specs say the saddle has a “full floating bucket,” which sounds like some sort of shock absorber.
