BUSY day, For Bikes not Work that is

[KZ1000]

Bought all these from an old friend, He did not know I was into bikes, I did not know he had Bikes. I only bought 12 of the 100 or so he had.
FIRST are the 2 I did not get, YET, He bought the Lemon Peeler New in 1973 and still has all the paperwork, The Pea Picker he said he MIGHT let go if I wanted it

These are the ones I had to have, The Ross Barracuda was turned into a 20" road bike, does anybody know if it was a Banana seat bike when new

Unreal collection! I love the three step-through 3-speeds, they're beauties. What model is the green Raleigh with the drop bars?

Nice work! This has to be the coolest shifter made for the krates...

This reminds me of how badly mine needs to be finished! :shock:

I picked up the exact same purple lowrider for my brother a couple months back. I got it for 20 bucks. The kid wanted 50, but the headset was wobbly and the rims and spokes are pretty rusted out. So, after explaining to him the cost of new forks and rims, he gave in to my offer.

My plan is to strip all the stickers, swap out the horrid crushed velvet purple seat, and throw on some new rims and a new springer. My brother wanted a Grape Krate, but he figures this will be close enough in spririt and a heckuva lot cheaper to put together.

(I'm going with tires that don't have "Low Rider" plastered all over them, either)
