Panther Done

Finished cleaning my first Schwinn today. Blew it apart, degreased it, polished it and oiled it up. Rides awesome. This thing rides nice, talk about quality. I'm not a Schwinn freak or nothing, but everything on this bike seems top shelf. I did change the cheap white walls it came with for cheap blackwalls though and all new spokes.

Few more pics. Played with the horn and got it to work.

Derusted the struts

That's sweet! What year, 1950-51?

 

[rusty.kirkpatrick]

I was told 52 or 53, the serial number was used in more than one year.

REALLY FINE SCORE! Great job on clean-up! That bike deserves a set of Typhoon Cord tires; they come in WW/or/BW. Memory Lane has had them.....
