1973 Schwinn Sunset Orange krate - original seat - original chrome -original paint with touchups rare only made for 6 months of that year

Up for sale is rear June 1973 sunset orange disc brake krate bike. The main component on this bike has been checked for originality. Pete Aronson's at Hyper-Formance confirmed the bike seat being original seat which I put away for safe keeping the bike is currently fitted with a Pete repo seat, The old original USA made tires have some cracking on the side walls I had replaced them with new repo tires but keep the original tires to be sold with the bike. The only added accessory to the bike is a Deluxe Speedo + 16” drive cable restored by Andy Green. This 73 Sunset orange bike is very difficult to find with all original components intact and was a lucky find at the time I was looking to buy Krate bike. Note all cables are Schwinn replacements.

The bike also has an original Schwinn Dealership decal indicates the bike was purchase at ( Barber's Schwinn cyclery 2133 First St Livermore California). A City of Livermore Bicycle License Registration Tag No.15514 is also located in the bike frame.
