Nice ride Steve! Doug

Doug, this is a friends collection in San Diego that collects Crate/Stingray bikes. He has more hanging from his open beam family room. His wife is a real sweetheart to put up with it all in the house. My son & him grew up together and my son has a couple too. I found a brand new Stringray at Walmart a couple years ago for about $88 far cheaper than any replacement part. He is parting out that one to fix up his stingrays.

I only remember the Apple Crate (red), Lemon Crate (yellow) and wasn't the green one was called the Lime Peeler?...
I had an Apple Crate and I too stuck a tall sissy bar on it as well.
