Schwinn Stingray Apple Krate - Original or Repro & Value?




a local store has this Stingray for sale for $450. Casual research on my part suggests it’s worth easily double that, but I also know that Schwinns are a subculture unto themselves. Also that there were reproductions made in the 1990s, and I don’t know how to tell one apart from an authentic vintage one.

Anyone with experience in these: is this a legit original Stingray, and second, what’s it worth?
