The Circle City Bicycles blog contains info on bicycles, cycling events, pro racing, bicycle touring, and just about anything else cycling related. Since our bike shop is located in Indianapolis, we focus on biking in the Midwest, but cycling fans anywhere in the world should find this blog interesting. We try to post daily Monday through Friday, but we occasionally miss a day. Each Friday we try to have an interesting bicycle related photo.
Thursday Video - Schwinn Sting-Ray Krate Collection
The second bike is a Schwinn Sting-Ray Orange Krate
This week's video features a gentleman showing his collection of Schwinn Sting-Ray Krates. These include:
1968 Apple Krate
1969 Orange Krate
1969 Lemon Peeler
1971 Grey Ghost
1971 Apple Krate
1971 Pea Picker
1972 Apple Krate
If you were a kid in the late 60s / early 70s, you know these were the coolest bikes around. Over at Bike History they list the progression of the models from 1968 to 1973. These bikes are now very popular with collectors. If you have any of these bikes, they are worth a lot more than their original purchase price.
If you are like old bikes, there is a club in town called the Hoosier Antique & Classic Bicycle Club that night interest you. They will be having their winter swap meet on Saturday, January 27 at the Boone County Fairgrounds in Lebanon.
