Schwinn Panther "G I JOE"

Beautiful brass Schwinn head badge,
My life is now fufilled. Rat Rod Bike Build Off 4, After a hasty venture down to the bicycle boneyard, 6 feet under, I have made the most difficult decision of my life. A Schwinn Panther straight bar with the theme "G I JOE"

Image

The bike will be adorned with Krylon army green. Next, pick out the parts I'm going to use. A Schwinn Phantom crank with a 2 speed Bendix hub laced to original Schwinn S2 rims. Bolt on a rear rack some struts on the front and see what happens. Stay tuned. Cheers!

The G I JOE camo works well, can you see the bike?
Chain guard and rear rack almost ready. Schwinn original S2 wheels are painted in Grey with new spokes laced to a two speed kick back.

Image
Image

The frame is painted camo just doesn't show up very good in the shade. Stay tuned....

Image

Finally complete, enjoy

that didn't take long!! Mine will be completed sooner than i thought as i have decided to take advantage of the weather and increasing gas prices, so aI am going to start commuting to work on it and tweaking as i go along. Mine has some gold undertones in it as well, and i really like that headbadge 8)
