EDIT: I guess I was imagining things. All I could find were the colors listed...nevermind! You may be right, I found a few other colors on Google images: blue, purple, pink, and black. I’m not sure whether they are official colors though or ones that people have created themselves.
Phirewriter Posted June 8, 2019 Posted June 8, 2019 (edited) The "Grape Krate" is an often reproduced phantom Krate bike. I have one myself but was never part of the original line of Schwinn Krate bikes. Many collectors feel like it was a natural that should have been produced. Blue, magenta, and numerous other colours where part of the standard Stingray/Fastback line over the years. The list in the previous posts are indeed the only factory versions/colours. The only variations are the disc brake versions, seat stripe design and shifter design changes. There are also rare single speed Krates along with more recently produced single speed replicas from Schwinn. I've seen some really nice custom Krates including Blueberry and Strawberry (magenta) Coal or Koal Krate (black) and other tribute style bikes with really well done decals, etc... that unless you know what your looking at would pass for a production build.

Bucky Posted July 1, 2019 Posted July 1, 2019 Demo derbies should be limited to only Vegas and Pintos!! (And, '57 Chevies!)

Bucky Posted July 1, 2019 Posted July 1, 2019 Looked like the '57 was about the first one out! I wasn't crazy about all the MOPARS being in it, tho! LOL
