I usually post over on the other motor bike site. Don't ask me why because I don't really know. Anyway, I have been pretty busy lately working on various projects. My wife has been riding my motorbike around quite a bit and asked if I could put one together for her. I have wanted to do a military style build and figured this was my opportunity. I had plans of an olive drab and desert camo paint job on the frame and every other part of the bike either green, black, or tan. I started with a Schwinn frame and a stencile kit off of ebay to give the frame a stock Schwinn paint job using the olive drab and tan. Well, the wife got involved and now I have a lot of chrome pieces as well. It's really susposed to be her bike anyway, so what could I say? It has started to take on it's own personality now. Not at all what I had started out to build, but I am beginning to like the looks.
Here is a partial components list:
1952 Schwinn Panther
Parsons seat that I recovered in black leather
Unknown cruiser bars with Schwinn stem
Oury grips
Schwinn $10 special cycle computer (these work great)
Chrome ballon tire full fenders (these were going to get painted black or olive drab)
Latest manufacture PK80-J Slant Head in silver
CNS Carb
One of my custom in-frame tanks in an unpainted "scotch-brite" finish
1952 Schwinn springer fork
18 tooth bearing mounted idler sprocket for a #41 chain
1995 Schwinn Phantom crank, sprocket, and bottom bracket
All I still need are tires and wheels.
