    New here, wanna post Koolness

    You guys are killing me! Did somebody hip you these are my Favs. I'm 55, 180 lbs, 5'10" & fit like I really shouldn't be. The only thing I can say is maybe it's from pedaling around big azz HD's for a long long time. I was chosen from my hood by the local Schwinn bike shop to represent the "NEW"...

    Schwinn aluminum Panther/Scrambler XL

    Cost of duplicating which isn't possible would be $4000 or so...not kidding. So many engineering techniques, research and development and the amount of craftsmanship that went into this bike is mind-boggling. It's so dialed in it's ridiculous. I'm going to stop now because it sounds so... I'll...

    I'd cash it out for the cost of parts. Not what you could git um for but MY price. Not to sound uppity but some of this stuff ya can't get. 1 off stuff and discontinued stuff. (Custom stuff). I'm NOT gonna give it away but I'd sell it for a couple grand less than you could ever build it for. And...

    Schwinn aluminum Panther/Scrambler XL

    Yeah I guess. It's not a turd, it's actually a killer bike. It wasn't built using "Chris King" and stuff...its was built using parts that are commonly used in Pro classes, back in the day & now. The ol Odyssey TORO pro headset, Bombshell which has been around forever but not mainstream, mostly...

    Schwinn aluminum Panther/Scrambler XL

    I hate posting up stuff I know is Kool and the cost of it & sounding like a bag of..... I know how much was spent on this build (no mark up on parts) and even having two of my best on it for countless hours, the favors from Bombshell & profile, having ODI take time out to custom etch lock rings...

    Schwinn aluminum Panther/Scrambler XL

    Yeah, maybe I'll try that. I built this bike for a local Detroit music celebrity & he dipped out on me & the project. At that point I had to finish it out of my pocket. It was done by deadline, everyone loved it, rides wicked for a 20lb BMX/MTB/Kroozer & looks pretty awesome imo. So ol skool but...

    Do any guys here move on high end stuff or are most here craftsmen? I've noticed that alot of these bike are NOT real ratty but contraire they are works of art with obvious time effort labor and money involved. I did not come here to try and make a but I figured I would mention that both of my...

    I think the HD was the only LATE MODEL to get stainless steel fenders. They are the same fenders mine came with but mine were hydro dipped to look like de carbon fibré (Carbon fiber) That's why I need um. Mine were junk & not good candidates for repop

    Kendall K Rads Yeah, really cool bike. I dig they did it in str8 bar goodness. Don't make me buy it so I can repopulate those fenders in aluminum. Lol. I'm pretty sure those are stainless steel.
