Thanks, I’ll pass that along to my friend, he chose the colors and style of the bike, I’m just an enabler.

Boy that's sharp! Talk your buddy into a set of repop truss rods from bicyclebones. Those would be killer on that beauty with just a touch more chrome. The crank legs sure look long!

Great minds think alike! I was just telling him truss rods would look sweet on it, but he’s spent his budget.
I found an old crusty pair online & will see what I can do with them before he picks it up next weekend.
He lives in Williams, AZ, I figured he could use the longer stroke for the hills around town.

Great work, love the paint scheme. But, if had started life as a Panther, it would have chrome plated rims. More likely with painted rims, it started as a "Fully equipped standard." I have the same basic bike from '52 and it was called the Hornet (1st year for that name.) Both are D-19's

The frame was two tone green, and probably had chrome rims. I bought it as a bare frame. The wheels came off of a crusty D-12. This bike doesn’t represent any model, it’s just a rider.
