    Tank for a Electra?

    Hi, I finally found a tank for my wife’s Electra Hawaiian ! It’s from a 1950’s Schwinn girls bike. Probably from a Starlet or Hornet. I attached two Electra decals on tank sides.

    So who prefers to "Preserve the Crust"?

    Had to chisel off old tires as they were so hardened from sitting. Guessing they were the original tires from 1937z

    Panther out today!

    Beautiful ride! Thanks for the photo! My Panther is from 1959 and in reality a Panther 2. Couldn’t find a radiant red Panther 2 chainguard to replace missing part. Had to settle for Panther 3 chainguard. Your Panther could be called a Panther 1 ! :)

    Panther out today!

    That’s what I was doing when I took the picture of the Schwinn! Yes, it’s a very nice view. We were lucky enough to buy this lot and build our house here in 1990. If you look hard enough you can spot my 1953 Arkansas Traveler moored at the dock.

    Panther out today!

    When I was a kid I had a hand-me-down beat Rollfast. I always wanted a new Schwinn but dad couldn’t swing it. I found this Panther in a yard sale about ten years ago for $25. I replaced the missing racks, headlamps, and chainguard. Bike should have the Panther 2 guard but I couldn’t find one...

    Panther out today!

    After the yard work today, while putting away the tractor. A old friend caught me eye, sitting quietly in the garage. My old Schwinn Panther was asking for a ride. Aired up the tires, washed the dust off and away we went. Flashback to 1959 and I’m pedaling to Elwood Kindle School!

    So who prefers to "Preserve the Crust"?

    Looks just fine the way it looks to me. I prefer to just fix what’s broken and then ride and enjoy them. I was given this 1937 Westfield by neighbors, it had been in a barn and was underwater courtesy of hurricane Sandy. I just took it apart cleaned and greased the bearings and replaced tires...

    What bike did you ride today?

    I hopped on my 1937 Westfield for a ride around the neighborhood. I dare say this bicycle hadn’t been ridden in over 50 years.

    Help with rear wheel (coaster brake)

    When I was a kid I took a New Departure hub apart just to grease it. What a mistake! All of those keyed and Plain disc fell out onto my front porch floor. I tried for hours trying to get it together. I finally gave up and waited for my dad to get home.

    Pee Wee Herman's 1987 'Silver Shadow' Bicycle

    We live on a river and one day I was working on my Schwinn Panther 111. A fellow came paddling down the river in a kayak, saw my Schwinn and started singing “ tequila “ ! Now my Panther has a lot of chrome on it, fenders, racks, etc. Guess it does look gaudy by what’s out there today?

    Tank for a Electra?

    Saw Electra manufactures a bicycle with a tank! It’s called a “Attitude “! Haven’t had any luck in finding it available as a replacement part. The folks that purchased the Electra company aren’t as helpful with parts as Electra once was. Seems whenever a company is bought out it’s never the same.

    Schwinn Panther!

    The bicycle I lusted for was a Schwinn Panther II or III. Dad never could swing that kind of money for a bicycle. I wound up with a beat up old Rollfast hand me down. Many years later I came by a Panther in yard sale for $25. Bought that puppy on the spot!

    Hi, I thank you for the quick reply. My dad had the exact same bike when he was eleven or twelve.

    I thought it may have been a Mobicycle. Thank you for the kind words and catalog photo. I wish I did have that bike. I have a suspicion that it went to a scrap drive during WW2. He joined the Army Air Corps after Pearl Harbor. Someday I’d like to find a similar Mobicycle.
