Why buy an artificial looking restoration that may not have been a Krate to begin with when you can buy a nice original bike? This is a clean, original 1970 Orange Krate. Paint is excellent with only a couple small touch-ups, chrome is very good with only a small spot of very slight pitting in front rim, a scuff on the deraileur, very slight scuffing on top of sissy bar, and a couple small scuffs on the front of the handlebars. The seat is original, with slight wear at the "S", chainguard has original silk screen, still bright and legible. Tires are original and show very well. This bike is in fabulous shape for a 100% ORIGINAL!!! $3500
