Here is the bike I've been slowly tinkering on. it is still a work in progress hopefully will be done for riding season.
1950 Schwinn Panther - Felt Abraham linkage forks - 19 inch moped rims - Motobecane AV88 rear hub- Sturmey 90 mm Dymo hub - Spokes tires and tubes should be here this week. Wheels may seem overkill to some but my favorite riding roads were originally laid out in the 1700s and 4 inch potholes aren't uncommon and I will feel a bit more comfortable with moped/ light motorcycle wheels. Ordered 19 x 2.25 for the front and 19x2.5 for the rear which is going final belt drive. Whizzer sheave is sitting here waiting.
I'm using a 3 hp Briggs I/C -build in progress/ cam is at Dymocams for a special grind, exhaust springs in and out, billet flywheel, 5 hp flo-jet Briggs carb,
