very nice

Made some progress… haven’t dialed in the 2=speed hub yet, but otherwise I’m quite pleased with it.

Thanks, I quite like the rusty look at the moment…

Loving the different color tones on the frame now it's a little bit cleaned up.

Nice, what did you use to clean it?

This is a fun one.. i like finding the old rusty ones and spending time bringing them back and riding them with my kids. Always wanted a coppertone Panther and this one was perfect… a lot of work and a fine balance to not over restore and keep the patina.

Hi folks, I'm looking for the front axle for a 1966 Schwinn Panther, does anyone know the best place to source one from? It's 5 and a half inches long but I'm not sure of the diameter or thread pitch to ensure I get the right one. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Ben

Hi folks, I'm looking for a '66 or '67 Schwinn Panther in coppertone if anyone has one they're selling. Thanks! Ben

Still available?

Looking for any 1960’s 26”Schwinn middleweights in copper tone - any condition considered!

Yes, they’re there too and fenders.

Here’s a pic of the badge for anyone interested.

1935 Schwinn B4 bicycle - complete.. project that I’m not going to get to for a while so decided to move on. I don’t see many of these come up and it will look great when built. $400 plus shipping - I’m in North New Jersey for collection.

My Colson rear steer tandem... bit of a work in progress still but I've managed to get some good miles with my daughter over the last few days of warm weather in New Jersey!

thanks! been doing a bit more work so I'll post a newer picture of progress.

Still have a fair amount to do with this but couldn’t help sticking some old tires on it and trying out the rear steering! Works really well... going for the rat rod look.. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Rebuilding the rear hub was fun!

I've been focused on other parts of the project and it's slowly getting there!

Soft wire wheel on a bench grinder for me :-) Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Looks like he did a great job.. is he located near north NJ? :-) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So this has proved to be a big challenge so far... but I’m preserving and we’ll see how it turns out. Basically everything has been either heavily rusted, or bent. In the process of straightening the frame one of the joints has cracked so that needs re-brazing.. the front forks are bent back...

I'm tempted to give it a go with one of the Bernzomatix torches... given the original brazes were brass, should I try and repair with brass brazing or would silver solder be ok?

Yep, this is likely the way I’ll go... just need to find someone that can do it.. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I'm currently restoring a 1930's Colson rear steer tandem and this one is fighting me all the way.. It's in pretty bad shape and I've been slowly working on it, but the front of the frame was bent from a crash and in the process of straightening one of the braze joints has cracked. Does anyone...

Ok, thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yep, every tandem I've owned (all two of them), have had bent front forks from prior accidents... I guess the extra weight and momentum of two people make a big difference here too. My Colson has a slight bend in the front frame too so it must have taken quite a whack.

Thanks for looking Forrest Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So this is an old thread but it helped me a lot as I was having exactly the same problem removing the left crank arm on my Colson rear steer tandem. I managed to eventually find a solution which was to place two pieces of 1’ angle iron each side of the arm (there was just enough space to slot...

That looks like a really interesting project.. I’ve been amazed at what can come back to life after evaporust baths or aluminum foil rubs if you’re patient. The extra mechanical pieces on those tandems make them really interesting. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Hi folks, I was inspired the other day when I saw photos of a really nice Sky Blue 1967 Schwinn Typhoon. Does anyone have a 26” Sky Blue 1966-67 Schwinn Typhoon for sale? Any condition considered. Thanks, Ben Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Hi there, I know it’s been a while, but I was wondering whether you still had these available? Thanks, Ben Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looks great! Always keeping my eye open for a CWC cycle truck! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ah ok, thanks - how do you think the frame size compares to the middleweight 26" Schwinn frames? I think the bottom bracket is higher on these earlier frames which makes for a more cramped ride.

What is a tall frame - is this a frame with a longer head tube for taller riders?

Thanks, I figured it was a bit over priced.. but it does look very cool as it sits.. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Panther!! I meant Panther

Hi folks - what do you think about this 1941 Roadmaster - it's for sale ~$650... looks mostly original to my untrained eye... is the price too much? what should I look out for here before I proceed... I'm familiar with 60's Schwinns but this is new territory for me. Thanks!

1967 Schwinn Phantom

Thanks both - the hub is marked with the Union “U” only.. I can see any other marking on it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi, I've got a 1968 Schwinn Twinn and I'm looking for a front axle with the cones and nuts. It has S-7 rims and the axel should be 5/16 diameter.. I believe the originals were 24tpi. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks, Ben

I ended up going with the repops... they look great and I’m really happy with. Thanks for the suggestion! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Thanks! The only parts I replaced were the chain guard, tires and a front rack.. managed to save every other component! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
