    1967 Schwinn Rams-horn fastback. Coppertone paint. All original and part of my extensive collection of Schwinns. All colors / flavors and I have had them for 30 years, pre-internet . Used to go to the Ann Arbor bike show held every Spring. None of them are ebay or Cl junk that you see nowadays. All original and unrestored. Plus they look great in my barns and office. Regards, Upstaged in SW Michigan Enjoy

    We had a nickname for those shifters - the nutcracker.

    Byoung, I can tell you from experience that once your "eggs" hit the shifter, it will never happen again. The CPSC banned/ outlawed the shifters in the mid to late 1970's and went to thumb shifters, usually 3 speeds. Lucas, My Pea Picker with the rear disc is one of my favorites.

    Lucas, Most of my Krates are hanging from the rafters in my barn that has 16 foot ceilings. I will get some closer shots of the Pea Picker along with some other one's as well. I recall that Schwinns were costlier than other brands but they sure do hold up nice, paint, chrome and decals. Regards, Upstaged in SW Michigan
