  • Always wanted one of these!
Size: 13-Inch Frame Color: Orange
Nice bike. Just wish I'd gotten a front fender...My own fault for buying from the used section, and for trusting Amazon to check for missing parts. Also my fault for not wanting to deal with sending it back. They wont post this review either. But who cares. :(

  • Decent reproduction and quality
Size: 13-Inch Frame Color: Orange
Overall it’s a good bike every thing is snug and moves smoothly. I would say it’s pretty comparable to my 1972 Krate. Only issue I had was the brackets for chain guard was very flimsy and bent immediately. It had to be reinforced. Great looking and fun ride.

  • Wanted one as a kid? Get this bike.
Size: 13-Inch Frame Color: Orange
Very happy with my orange krate purchase. Assembly was fairly easy, front drum brake cable setup gave me the most grief, but not horrible. Very helpful videos showing assembly on youtube. Don't be afraid to assemble it yourself. Nice paint, correct style tires, well built & nice quality. For those saying "fake krate", that's not correct. Schwinn offered coaster brake krates for 3 years, '70, '71, and '72. The chainguards were specific to coaster brake models, and this one is correct. The front drum brake was not offered on coaster brake krates, but it's a cool touch. I added lights, speedo, mirror, orange lock, restored a '72/'73 Milwaukee (my hometown) bike license plate and a schwinn bell, just as I would have done over 50 years ago. I wanted one in 1970 (actually a 5 speed orange) when I was 8, but settled for a Ross. Yes, it's pricy, but the new krate I wanted 53 years ago is mine now, at age 61. Once the weather here in Wisconsin is warmer, you bet I'll ride this bike a bit! If you're around my age and wanted one new, don't hesitate to buy. Way cheaper than buying a nice original one, and it'll make you smile! ... show more

  • The Chrome on these bikes really suck, it will RUST if you don't keep it up!!!
Size: 13-Inch Frame Color: Coal
This has been out for a year? Where have I been, I'm on The-Zon everyday. When I 1st saw this I said Hel-Yeah! Once I saw it was from China was bummed. Then I proceeded to purchase an original for maybe the same $$? NOPE, not happening. The min was $2000. I did not need this bike. I knew what type of quality a Chinese tin Schwinn would be before I purchased it; because I'm in my 50s, because my parents were too cheap to buy me one. (& they could have. these were about $100 in the late 60s, & I'm aware of the cost of living & what $100 was in 2day's $$). The chrome is super rough. The forks have Angle Grinder marks on the main fork, to knock down sloppy metal-casting-mold unevenness. (see the center fork piece that runs up through the bottom part of the head set),... all of the chrome is cheap, all covered in WD40 so it doesn't rust on the shipping boats from China. I received it today, put it together in about an hour without scratching it. (just take it slow.) You can figure out most of it on your own. The picts are limited, and not all that great. May as well keep the Manual Sealed,, mine was for a kids mountain bike. It could be just a general bicycle manual that says just Schwinn. Nothing on the inside that was of any help for the build. ******MY EASIER WAY TO FIGURE IT OUT****** 1. open the box, take it out slowly in 1 piece, set it down it can hold its own, until you start cutting off zip ties. small stuff 1st, handle bars, front tire, and whatever is left. 2. leave the front packing crap on, install both pedals, (it calls for metric box wrenches, bring matching SAE also. My left pedal didn't take to the metric wrench, I did it by hand, used a crescent to finish. Next, put on the seat post to the line, (bottom 1/4- 1/3 of the post), loosen the clamp up, slide the post in, tighten clamp all the way so it doesn't move. 3. flip the bike upside down, (no seat installed yet), you may need a hand, I did not. look at the photo how to install the front fender. If you are sitting in a chair in front of the bike, the end that has the thin tin, to attach to the front wheel, those goes behind the forks, now bolt it on after you remove the bolt from the fork. Don't worry, the bolt will not drop out of the fork, (it didn't for me). 4. look at the photo to install the front wheel and tire. (***MAKE SURE you slide the thin rod, that is going to be on the left side of the rim, *to your right if you were sitting in front of the bike(, through a small box welded on the forks, (I missed this step). The directions are confusing but from the hub, on both sides, it is the stronger bar that just slides on, the middle-weakest bar that has holes, and is attached to the fork, and then the fender. (you will have to apply pressure to get the the thin tin fender holder rods on the axle, (these ar last to be put on. I originally put them in the middle, then put them correctly after redoing the front wheel assembly. 5. seat, just follow the directions. to make it easier double check the direction of the hump for the sissy bar: the hoop points towards the rear tire, remember you are putting it on upside down, the seat should be upside down in your lap, black side facing you, sissy bar hoop is bottom side and angled correctly. Now all you need to do is remove the nuts and bolts on the seal slide the seat in sideways/diagonally (like this angle: " / "..... then turn it or twist it in; use this angle in your head / act like you are lifting up the left side to match the right, like opening a car's garage door if you didn't have an opener. 6. go on Amazon or Schwinn and look at photos of the Chrome brackets with two holes, that hold the sissy bar, (mine were loose in the big box, I missed them not being in the other parts boxes that came with this set up???) now look underneath the seat. the clamp can flip back and forth, but the seat can only be mounted 1 way. If this Classic Schwinn Bicycle this is for a 13 or under, remove the whole nut and bolt, flip the clamp over, re-screw tighten by hand, then place on the post, and then slip the rear bars for the sissy bar in the clamps. (What you just did is bring the rider closer to the handle bars.) If you appear to be sitting further away from the gooseneck from looking underneath, reverse what you just did. Shorter people should ride more closer, than further from the handlebars. next locate 2 strange small rectangular pieces of plastic. I took a crescent wrench & tightened it snug on the open circular clamp arm, then pried it open. Keep the wrench on it, then slide and shove these in longwise horizontally, between the two metals. (it will keep the sissy bar from bottoming out metal to metal without a friction restrictor. These two rubber pieces are not even classified as a parts let alone that there are two of them. (I'd use sockets over wrenches to tighten the seat posts. In tight places you'll still need to use both sockets and wrenches whatever works easiest 4u. Either use a torque wrench, or go by experience. Don't over tighten and strip out the China crappy nuts and bolts. 7. handlebar assembly. put the gooseneck on 1st (the wrench is smaller than the hole appears) you either have the correct Allen wrench or you don't. the correct one will slip in tight. It may not be the one that they called out (I went by fit, and didn't tract the size I used.) sit in front of the bike, center the gooseneck, tighten it up. next center the handle bars on the gooseneck, make sure both sides match up where the tightening bolt is located, now sit on back of the seat, (butt pushed against sissy bar, then push you arms forward, see where you end up, tighten handlebar nut and bolt, (tip, you can mount a Small CHOPPER Headlight here, but you need to go to the hardware store to get 1/2", or 3/4" longer bolt. I tried mounting the cool led chrome headlight I bought, to no avail. The gooseneck hole is recessed, so if you try to mount anything there the bolt comes out short in the back by the nut, (& you cannot put a nut on it), in my case my bolt did not exit at all. I'd buy both 1/2" & 3/4" longer bolts, use whatever works best. You can get the Chopper LED Headlight in black or chrome:(like I did), since the forks are chrome (@ Amazon for under $15.) 8. front brake read instructions. You will want to use a very good set of wire cutters when you snip the extra wire from the brake cable, otherwise you'll fray it and it will look like crap. there is an aluminum pinch cap for the end of the wire once you cut it. (I hooked up the brake, tested it, tightened it b4 I made the cut, 1 1/2 inches past the bolt that was tightened to make the brakes work without slipping out of place.) Where the end of the grey cable ends at the hub, make sure the longer piece points outward, or if installed wrong it rubs on the rim, when it shouldn't (I did that also) 9. I slid the front reflector down near the gooseneck facing out, and bolted the two red ones just above the top of the rear fender, about an inch higher than the lip of the center of the fender. 10 RIDE IT! Over all, I am satisfied with the purchase. I did ride the bike around and stopped at all of the Raider Fan neighbors, I have the Black Krate bike with grey seat. Yeah they were jealous. It is a constant pedal bike with a rear coater brake, but no much "coast", and there's the front hub brake. I had no issues riding it, stopping, steering, but it was a trip the first 50 feet all squirrely. I'm 6'3 224. The lower score is due to the lower quality used for a once considered "High Quality American Product". For this reproduction, they could have went a little more "Original Schwinn" in regards to the metals they chose to use, (i.e.: closer to the original, versus far from the original chrome metal used. (Once I can no longer keep the Chrome Up, or the rust away, I'll just have them wrapped in Matte Black These short cuts should have advanced people in @ 20 mins or less, knowledgeable at 30 mins, and newbies at 40 mins to 2 hours. Good Luck, you'll need it. (me=advanced, but I took it slow so no slipping of wrenches against new black paint) ... show more

  • Kool ride!
Size: 13-Inch Frame Color: Coal
I opted for the coal krate. I am 5’ 10” and 210 pounds. The bike rides well and there are no signs of stress on it. I bought the upgraded springs to replace the ones in the sissy bar, but have been unable to replace them as the cotter pins are in there tighter than Dick’s hatband. As is , i feel the suspension seat sink a bit but nothing to worry about. I didn’t expect construction to equal the originals; but am pleasantly surprised by just how high the quality is. No complaints! I replaced the seat with a black glitter seat by Alta. It could use a little more padding. The schwinn seat has more padding and the edges of the seat pan seem to be a little more rounded. Definitely a more comfortable ride. There is a book on amazon about working on original krates. I found it to be very useful as the included assembly instructions are close to useless. Also, be sure to check out the youtube video on assembly. The book will be useful for repair and maintanance as well because so many of the parts are the same or very close. Adjusted for inflation, the price is about the same as it was back in the day so don’t let that stop you. Just get some cool valve stem caps and you are in business. Btw, if you haven’t ridden an old school bike in decades- it’s just as much fun as you remember!! Enjoy!! ... show more
