I have an original Orange Krate, Sept 1969.
Original light kit and speedometer also.
Has little dent on back of headlight, minor scratch/chips, derailer guides are worn and needs reflector at back of seat.
Can someone tell me what it would be worth? Thanks

I personally have no idea, but you will certainly have an answer in a little over 2 1/2 days. (Good Luck!) :thumb:

I had a 1973 Schwinn Lemon Peeler as a kid. It looked a lot like your Orange Krate. I wish my parents had kept it. It had all the cool stuff: 5sp stik shift, rear disc brake, light set with the rear wheel generator...I remember it was hell to get up a hill, but man did it look hot.

I'm gonna say $750, then I'm going to look at your auction.
I bought a '69 Apple Krate new. My parents sold it a long time ago.
Follow: didn't sell, local pick-up and not quite all original. What was your reserve?
