That's my bike! I had that exact bike. What memories.

Got a yellow one in my shed.

Not sure exactly what model. Has the springer front end, slick rear tire, and springer sissy bar like the Krates but it's a single speed

Keurig is struggling. Guess it's out with the old, and in with a new.

You guys are young. I got mine in about 70, it was a really big expenditure for my parents, about 28 bucks.

I remember the models with a gear shift lever on them. Maybe a five speed?

I had one of those, It was called the Orange Krate. Had a gear shift level on the top bar. Painted orange. Also had a mini-front wheel with a spring shock absorber on the front fork and hand brakes.

You know the banana seat was more comfortable for guys to ride....

OK I'm dating myself with Melensdad's picture...

Need to get the bike back out if the weather ever gets off the zanax it has been doing...

That was big money there. We were in a different situation, I never had a new bike. My stingray came from somebody else in the neighborhood who was done with it. It was an awesome bike though, as I remember it.

I had one kind of like that. Wide back tire and a five speed.

I remember having hand-me-down bikes and playing bike tag. Back in the day a bike was freedom.

Freedom for sure. It seems like we would spend the whole day riding around in the summer. We would ride just to ride. Oh to have that energy today lol.

Anyone have a GLOCK 17 holster they would be willing to loan our for a week? ... IWB, AIWB, OWB, Kydex, Leather ... doesn't matter as long as it's RH. PM me if you are willing to loan it out. Thanks!

Sure it's called the store. LOL!!

The one in my shed is just like that, minus the 5 speed.

Mine were hand-me-downs.
1st this one.

Then this one.

Oldest bikes in the neighborhood.

 

[melensdad]

Better idea ... I'll trade an AK for the holster.

Galco King Tuck for a G17/19 work?

Or a FOBUS paddle.

If so I have one you can borrow.

I had one like that as well. It had the orange motif and banana seat and wide slick tire in the back, and it was a 5 speed, however mine had a thumb shift lever on the handlebars, NOT on the frame. I think that was the ONLY difference. I would have to go and look at it in one of the garages of my parents for a closer look.

That was the exact one I had too. I still have a scar on my finger from the seat breaking off the front post. I grabbed the seat and scraped my finger on the post.
