That wouldn't of happened if you would've gotten a real bike!

I was 6. I was happy to have ANY bike. Plus, I didn't come from CHOOO$$$ CHOOO$$$, so I took what was bought for me and liked it.

The most amazing collection of '50s-70s bicycles in the metroplex is at Black Gold in Arlington. It is the funkiest store you will ever set foot in, but he has a bunch of bikes like the one in that 'Orange Krate' ad and the parts to restore them. He even has one unassembled bike in the original Sears box that is worth like $15k or so he claims. It's a great place to check out in person.

I remember this as Alex's dad does. They were very sought after and admired, but also, not very good bikes.

I'm thinking this may have been earlier, as my experience would have been early 70's.

I think this is just a matter of when you started riding bikes. BMX bikes didn’t really become mainstream until the mid to late 70’s. (I didn’t see my first Mongoose until around 78 when a kid from California moved into the neighborhood.) We all adopted that look by ditching the fenders, chain guards and banana seats.

A friend had an Apple Krate and, as has been stated, it was a cool looking bike that was for cruising only.

AFWIW… banana seats were a hella lot more comfortable than the ‘ten speed’ seats we replaced them with.


My first bike (don't laugh - we was poor)... circa 1972.

My friend had a Orange Krate, and he pulled pussy on that bike like no one else
