Saphire Board Tracker redux

[Venice Motor Bikes]

Here's one of my Board Trackers that I've recently redone... This is my current personal rider & one of my all time favorite builds.
It's a 1950 Schwinn Panther with all the best parts I have to offer.
I totally rebuilt it with a new engine, new tires & a hydraulic brake.
It has a Monark fork, saphire blue powdercoat, 66cc RAW 'slant head' engine, Sportsman Flyer stainless steel tank, SBP expansion chamber pipe (custom fitted), my chain tensioning shim kit, my custom layback seat post, my custom hydraulic front disc brake system, my custom air filter & 'brass balls'!
I hope you guys like it...

Nice build, Norm. Nothing quite like the old Panther frames. I can't find a Panther frame to save my life these days. I like the slicks!

That is a nice looking bike Venice! Where did you find those slicks? Kip.

Thanks guys... Panther frames are real hard to find down here too!!
The tires are 3G 'slicky g'.

Nice. I wish I was wayyyy shorter and could fit these smaller frames with the seat all the way down.

Looks great, Norm. I share your enthusiasm for the straight bar Schwinns. I'd take one over a Worksman frame any time. Lots more room. Nice in blue...
