Yes the front axle is also 15mm od female drilled w/3/8 16th 8mm hex Allen titanium bolts. 90% of the fasteners are Titanium

Awesome handlebars/stem also. Low geared too...I like you.

& I see ya swapped out for a lucky 7 & K reads. Sell me the fenders?

One more thing, the handlebars look to be the rears from a tandem. Cruiser style but taller

Looked @ that H.D. & I think I'm in love. Even the diamond plate chainring...damn! Purpose built. Being here in Detroit Motor City you would be surprised how many of these old yellow twins troll the massive manufacturing facilities... Car factories. Some have been there since the sixties I bet...

I personally wouldn't touch it! I bought one of those new (matte blk) & let it go in a trade. Just KOOL. Last of the good ones. Now on to something I've been scratching my head about. Not so much into the hobby like I used to be but am still semi knowledgable, what's a bike like MY Aluminum...

Those are pretty kool. Do ya know what size the steer tube is?

It is a shame. The last of these was 2006 and sold under the "Select Series" of Schwinn. That's when Schwinn still had retail stores. But yeah, the euro bottom bracket, the geometry & other features really made these Kool bikes, they even had a female version that was blk/pink!

Lol, the aluminum Panther is rarely mentioned. With MTB geometry, light weight & the Kool factor...$599 msrp might have had something to do with it.

I honestly believe they did a few for prototype purposes and I I read a higher up in Schwinn back then took a Panther to a race and won. Do ya think it was just a production model or a publicity campaign with special tools? Non the less, way kool. The info about the handful of Yeti's was passed...

How a current Dodge Challenger looks ol skool & even has a Hemi. This is kinda like that. (Ol/New)

My bike really doesn't stand out much, same old same old, but when one looks closer it's what ya do when days gone by leave ya with NEW. Not a bad thing don't get me wrong it really surprised me when I stood back and looked at it when I was done. From a distance it looks like an old school and...

Where can I find this fork SICK!

Where can I find this fork?

Steer tube was one typo and lugs not loves was the other if not more... Sorry guys, autocorrect is auto corrupt

I totally get it and I will and I will try to keep it clean. All of these Panthers came black only with drag bars. Euro bottom bracket & horizontal rear facing drop outs. Early Yeti made frames have 1 1/8 sreerer & early Taiwan are 1 in steel tube. Later 2005 built for 2006 all have 1 and 1/8...
