1950 Schwinn Red Panther Mens Straightbar Tank Bicycle Vintage Phantom Hornet S2

1950 SCHWINN RED PANTHER MENS STRAIGHTBAR TANK BICYCLE VINTAGE PHANTOM HORNET S2. Here is an original VINTAGE I believe June 9th 1950.

The serial number appears to be G146474 and is stamped on the bottom of the cranks housing men's SCHWINN PANTHER STRAIGHTBAR beach cruiser bicycle with 26 wheels. It is in the original and very appealing 2-tone RED colored factory paint. I have NEVER seen a Panther in this color combination before!!!

If you like unique UNRESTORED original bikes, this may be a great bike for you. To me, this bike is absolutely AMAZING and they almost never come along like this!

With the insanely high price of gas (and the economy being bad) now is the time to ride a cool vintage bike! This bike has a cool mens straight bar Panther cruiser style frame with original paint and decals, cool chrome SPRINGER front forks, frame mounted straight bar TANK, (has a WORKING horn inside) original screen Phantom style DELUXE Panther chainguard, large brass Schwinn head badge, super cool Messinger tagged cruiser style seat, "AS" (Arnold Schwinn) seat post clamp, wide cruiser handlebars, Schwinn script hand grips, full fenders with original Delta ROCKET RAY headlight, (complete with lens, untested, probably doesnt work anyway) SKIPTOOTH chain and sprockets, cool pedals, 9 hole rear carrier RACK, and more! RIGHT NOW I have a deluxe Springer fork ladies Schwinn Panther for sale on another listing that matches this one!!! Would be amazing for you to have a matched pair in the matching colors!

A rare opportunity and a GREAT investment! I hope you can appreciate how cool and rare of an opportunity this really is! This bike has been in very long term storage and cannot wait to be enjoyed again! The tires are 26x2.125. They are vintage WIDE WHITEWALL tires and do hold air.

The rear is a Schwinn Westwind. The front is a slightly newer replacement. The bike has factory chrome Schwinn S-2 rims front and rear with a Bendix rear hub. The bike is an original SINGLE SPEED with coaster brakes. (pedal slightly backwards to stop the bike) DIMENSIONS The stand over height is approx 31.

The distance from the floor to the top of the seat post clamp is approx 28 1/2. The distance from the center of the crank to the top of the seat post clamp is approx 18 1/2. The center of the handlebar stem to the center of the seat post is approx 22. The bike will accommodate most any rider comfortably.

The seat height is easy to adjust. NOTED FLAWS It is not 100% flawless but is relatively nice considering its age compared to most! The paint looks fairly good for a 65+ year old bike! It is a very unusual 2-tone RED color.

I love the light original pinstriping on the sides of the tank. The paint has chips, scratches, etc. The chrome is shiney but is not perfect show quality.

Both wheels have a slight wobble when you spin them. (most every used bike out there seems to).

The bolt on the RH side of the springer is an AS (Arnold Schwinn) The left side has a chrome head. NOT trying to nit pick every little thing on this cool bike, just like to be honest. Overall, this is one of the coolest bikes you could ask for!

A rare bike in a rare color... I truly hope you can appreciate this one for what it is. This is a much harder bike to find than a Black Phantom or a Krate bike. I took lots of pics, I have nothing to hide.

This appears to be a fairly nice original unmolested bicycle unless otherwise noted. A great bike to ride on relaxing days through the park or to the beach. Also would be a nice item to display in a shop, restaurant, rec room, sports bar, etc. Stand out from the crowd and be the envy of people who see you riding by. People will enjoy seeing you on your vintage bike!

A great classic bike at a great price. Why not ride a bike? If you are looking for a fun bike to ride and enjoy this may be it!

A nice bike to cruise the beach or your local park! Priced way less than a dime store bike that wont be around 5 years from now, much less 30+ years like this one! Please give this bike a good home and DON'T MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY! Classic bikes are very cool because not everyone on the block has one! People love to see and talk about and ride these classic bikes!

They are more popular now than ever before! This may be a great Birthday or other special holiday gift for someone! It is never too soon to think ahead and get someone something they may really like!! These are getting to be hard to find in any condition and to my knowledge, have not been reproduced.

PLEASE NOTE that many of the bikes I list have listed have been in long term storage and have not been regularly ridden in a while. (not a bad thing) They may need standard tuning, greasing, may have old tires, surface rust etc. I try to be as honest as possible and never want to disappoint anyone. I try to be as honest as I can and disclose anything I know about the bike. I want you to be excited about your new bike and hope you really enjoy your new vintage ride for years to come.

We try to package well so the bike arrives to you in the same condition as it left us. Fed Ex just increased the rates. This is a 10+ day service and includes packing.
