bang bang Columbia and Schwinn Panther

[Walker]

Just picked up this pair tonight. kind of a neat late 50's Columbia with all kinds of neat accessories. Most notably the working Daisy bb gun, matching holster & bags, front fender light has never had batteries, same for the handlebar horn light, reflector mudflap, half a set of tassles...seems to fit an 8yr old pretty good!





From the same guy, this Schwinn Panther. Pretty well decked out too! I have to open up the tank and check the damage as there is an acid mark on the frame and bottom corner of the tank. Button moves freely though. Rocket Ray is fairly clean inside, I think it could be made to work again. Didn't test this one as the tires are blowing out.. Real nice shape otherwise!

Nice finds, I would fix that Columbia fork pretty soon, but WOW what some cool options.

Nice grabs Walker !!! Cool accessories on the Columbia, my boy's still too young for a bb gun but we picked up your schwinn bikes sister off of B607 not too long ago ...

With all these Panthers around it's a good thing you have that Daisy. Nice finds! Gary

 

[Walker]

thanks guys.

The bb gun will have to go away for a little while and I have a fork but it's blue so we'll see about that. Might just transfer the bags and rifle to a skiptooth ballooner Columbia for my son.

CCR, my wife would have flipped if I had brought home a blue one!

I brought one home last weekend! It's just like CCR's...but had ugly red and white house paint where the green color is. I took care of that

alrighty since this has turned into the cool ladies Panther thread here's one that rides like a dream and lives in my garage:

Okay, you get the prize for the nicest girls Panther. I don't like girls bikes, but I'd take that one. 8) Gary

If I brought home the blue version my wife would probably claim it and I'd sell her Elgin.

Elgin, you say?
It was the other way around here: the Elgin arrived and the Schwinn got benched!

 

[CCR]

I had no idea you were such a ladies man Black Monark :mrgreen:

In my experience, your favorite color seems to be the hardest one for you to find Walker, no matter the color :wink: onestly I can't decide between the green or blue 2 tones, if I was closer I would swap you in a heartbeat !

 

[Walker]

thanks CCR, I don't have any plans to travel to IL or I would load it up in a heartbeat!

Beautiful bikes. If I had the Panther, that thing would be a carpet queen on most days.
