    TRADITIONAL 🅵🅾🅾🅻🅸🅶🅰🅽 - 1930s Elgin Oriole

    Black bikes

    This ‘51 Panther is the first American balloon tire bike (frame) I bought over 15 years ago. It has been through so many iterations since then and this last one will be the last. I love it because it got me passionate about bikes again after messing around with cars for years and riding again...
