Schwinn Panther
g'day tink you have some fine bicycle's, i stambled across a site 3 years ago i saw a straightbar panther and man loved the line's and soon become hooked but we in australia dont have these so i goggled alot before i found a couple of guy's to send to me i now have 2 51panthers and this 41 ranger i would sell as the parts are to much to get to me
i truely looking for a double diamond 35 36 frame i found one last month beautiful but wouldnt post to me i still looking for one
Hsvmick, Thats really something that you have two panthers also. your bikes were built right here in Chicago, illinios . thats one heck of a ride to Australia from the old Schwinn Plant.
If you have them together post them , every one would love to see them.
We all have favorite bikes and Panther is mine. The one I have posted is my daily rider.
It is the dead of winter here in the midwest . I bring the bikes inside these months so they dont get rusty. no way to ride them in the slush and snow. The bike you see I think is a 52.
It was really beat when I got it, but the wheels, and fenders shined up and the paint was decent.
I found a tank , light, and rack that was missing. the saddle bags came from a big yard sale of mostly used clothing a lady was selling. In the corner was a bunch of motorcycle stuff , when I asked how much for the saddle bags she said," Is 20 dollars ok?" Sure was!
On the panther they went . Hope someone here can come up with your double diamond frame for you. good luck with your project. tink.
I noticed when I was previewing the post, if you look at the photo on the wall you will see a ship pulling into Sydney harbor, THats my old ship.
