Found a perfect patina matched set of genuine schwinn Panther fenders in my garage that I forgot about , I am pretty excited about this build , I have the correct pedals , rocket Ray and a tank that I am going to try to patina match as well

Had a few minutes after the gift exchange this morning to work on the panther , i am rebuilding the rear hub & converting the rear cog from a 10 tooth to a 11 tooth sprocket it makes a big difference on hills & long grades , thanks for looking !
