I plan on going with a banana seat. I've been wanting a banana seat bike for a long time. I'm looking at these seats. Anyone ever use these?

Not that it matters one bit, but it looks like a panther to me...

Fleets had cheaper components and such...

Great looking project is the main thing !

Yeah, black and white.
I'm not sure but I feel like Fleets had painted fenders, guards and tanks. They usually have the cheaper rolled goose neck...stuff like that.
Once you start repainting and ratting them out, one canti frame is the same as any other

My current project is a middle weight Schwinn, serial number on the steer tube.
70's something or other...Typhoon? Heavy Duti?
I'll never know
