2006 Krate Grey Ghost?
 
I didn't know that (whoever is making Schwinn these days) was producing Krates again.
Is this a decent price? Are they hard to find as the ad suggests?

I have memory-lust for my 71 orange krate......

I had a "lemon peeler" ---boy, that thing was heavy. I remember getting passed by sting rays all the time. Never again!

I've seen something 'similar' at wallyworld. Single speed, fattie tires, a more streamlined frame, no drum brake. Price tag said $169.

Schwinn has been reproducing them for about a decade.
The repops aren't hard to find, but they won't have the nice top-tube stik-shift you find on originals from the 1960s and 1970s. Stik-shift shifters were deemed a safety hazard and were removed from production musclebikes around 1974.
