I am looking hard. If you hear of any rollers available, please let me know.
I pm'd you with my email address if you find, or have, something I might be interested in.
As I have the only Whizzer that shows up at the Bike and Car Shows, every body, and in particular, the older bike guys, love it. I doubt they'd turn their noses up at a pin stripe or two. Especially if it has a Built motor.
Can hardly wait for Q to ship it.
Mike

Check memory lane classics, apparently they sell repop frames for cheap.

The Boy Who Never Grew Up
It seems to me that I read a reference somewhere to there being special order over sized frames offered by Schwinn, but I don't recall any details of when this was or if very many were ever made. 1950's? It would be a good question for the memory lane guys.

Can't wait to see that Whizzer in a Felt frame.
i think it will be a great combo and never been done before.

Just found this rather unique Whizzer on facebook.

I received the motor from Quenton last week, haven't got it unpacked yet to just look. Quenton took it on a 50mile test run when he finished it. Said he had it to fifty but didn't want to run it any faster as it was fresh. I'm excited.
On another note, I talked to him about frames and he said it would fit in the Panther frame as the back of the center fins were cut in case of a tight fit. Hmmmmmm.
Also, I found a 52 Black Phantom frame and bought it for a buck. I'll need to add the lug for the rear brake before powder coating.
At some point this winter I'm thinking I will set one of the motors in the Felt frame just to see what it looks like. At the same time, I'll try a bunch of different front forks. I've got Some Older MTN bike forks, a Girvin Vector and a Marzocchi Bomber, and both Schwinn and Monark styles, as well as a set of chrome triple trees for a Puch Magnum that might work with a different hub. It might be fun to see what the Felt frame looks like with each. If the Whizzer looks good in there, maybe I need a late model Whizzer to go in it.
Anyhoo, got lots to do this fall and winter.

Hey Mike, if it is that canvas frame I'd give that a try. I bet it would look almost as nice as in a Panther frame.

Hey Troy,
Yes sir, its the Felt Canvas. I've got a second set of motor mounts, but it may still provide some interesting issues. The tubes are quite large compared with an old Schwinn, but dang it's a good looking frame, and I agree the Whizzer may look just too good in there.

Hay Gray Beard. You should check out an old CWC. Frame. Their are several on Ebay now.

Thanks for the thought. I've got two straight bar Panthers, one with a Whizzer, and one with a Gxh and EZM. I picked up a Phantom cantilever frame just recently as well, so I'm thinking I've got all the frames I need unless I stumble over one with all the Whizzer mods already done.

Hey Mike, just checking in on this thread, did you come to a decision yet?

Hey Chain,
I think I have a plan.
I'm thinking the "rodded" motor will end up in the Panther. That frame with one of Pat's tanks is just about the sexiest thing I can imagine. I have another Panther with the same tank, so I'm having a bung installed on the right side, close to the back so it will make the fuel line to the Whizzer a little less awkward. I'll just plug off the forward bung. I'll put your old tank on the other Panther, decals and all. The end "theme" is 1950 Flatracker, so I need another set of bars.
I bought a Black Phantom frame, and it may become the home of the stock motor, we'll see if that changes. I have an extra set of mounts and will still check fitment on the Felt. It may be a little too tight. If it'll fit, I'll wait and do "new Whizzer" in it. That'll give me three Whizzers, one GHX 50 Panther, a Solex, and an electric. I had to buy an enclosed car trailer so I could get some of my bike **** out of the house, although that's not done yet, LOL.
