The rich kid down the street (only kid) had an Apple Krate. He wore dress shirts and never tucked them in, but they never wrinkled.

Had to paint my POS stingray with metal flake rattle cans. I get resentments thinking about it.

All the cool kids in the 70's had those bikes. We were poor so I was trundling around on an old Triumph that my father brought back from England after the war. It looked like this, except mine was green with a tan leather saddle.

I can't find any pictures of Triumphs with the loop spring under the front of the saddle after the war, so I'm thinking it was a pre-war model that he got on the cheap.

That type of front-end is called a girder.

Hated the Krate’s. Had 2 Sting-Ray’s. Yellow and took the banana seat off and put a single seat on. Those handle bars were the best ever but they kept breaking/bending from the big jumps we used to go off.
