Had a few sold a few but have always kept this one my wife purchased for my Birthday about 20 years ago, all OG.

 
I tried to edit my thread to fix my title but can not figure out how to do so.

The background isn't as pretty as everyone else's but here are a couple of mine

Apple Krate is mostly all original. Aftermarket rear tire, and strange rack I fabbed mounts for on the front.

Cotton Picker original paint frame. Guard is a repaint I did and seat recovered by me. Wrong rear wheel, but they sure are fun to ride.
 
Here's my 1969 Apple Krate

Hey, dudes! Thought I better get over here and show some face. Been busy lately, and been missing all my friends from Railrider's site.
So here's my first post here for quite a spell and my 1973 Orange Krate to go along with it.

Wow, thats nice! Two mirrors huh, very cool!
 
Thanks, Irocit. The mirrors are repops, but since I spent so much money gettin' her finished up, I thought I should be able to get away with the mirrors being the only repop things on the bike. Really like all the Krates here. They are super kool looking. Hey, Railrider, nice score on the Cotton Picker.
 
Nice bikes guys!

That Cotton Picker post before Chicago Muscle Guy is one year old, this thread is an old one.

I heard it's hard to tell the difference between the originals anyway. I would assume they look better because they're newer. I've seen them for sale and they're still not cheap, I'd like to pick one up at some point, I kinda need one.
