This is an '87 Panasonic DX-1000 that I just bought. It's a great looking bike but as I checked it out I saw this item. I can't figure out it's purpose.

Any idea what this is for?

Thanks.

Best regards,

Mike

To hang the chain on when you're doing a fast rear wheel change.

Thanks,

I got one on my tandem. It is kinda nice to use but I keep forgetting it is there.
