Fast Black Panther - Light MX Klunkerish Build

[DeuceWheeler]

I picked up this Aluminum panther frame in a package deal last summer for dirt cheap.
I wasn't really sure what to do with it until the other day when I built it up with parts in my garage.

1999-2001 Schwinn Aluminum Panther build. (not sure on exact year)
3 speed internal gear Nexus Inter-3 black hub
26'' wheels from my old specialized Hardrock
26'' BMX Chrome Sunlite Fork
Pure Fix Cycles FGFS BMX Bike Handlebars
Original 3 piece cranks
Front MX Brakes
Origin8 seat
Lightweight Bike

The only changes I want to make will be better brakes and maybe dropping a couple teeth on the front chain ring and maybe paint the fork Black or get a black fork with disc tabs.

Overall this is a super fun, lightweight bike. I rode several miles if trails last night and had a blast.
Better pics to come!

I almost bought that fork! How you like the saddle? I've seen a spring version but haven't bought one yet. This bike looks awesome!

The saddle is pretty nice. I haven't gone on any super long rides though.

Thanks! I am digging it for sure.

Really like the looks of your bike. May try to build one myself.
