What do I have here?
 

Hi...I am a new member here...just signed up. I am looking for information on this schwinn that I purchased a couple of years ago. I was going to sell it but I thought I should figure out what it is first. You can see the picture...it looks to me that it has been repainted. The numbers 84 are stamped under the crank. the back hub has a red line around the middle of it. There is a Schwinn decal on the center post that goes into the top of the crank but none other. It rides really nice....I would just like to know what it is...

Thanks for your help....

Hi and welcome to the forums ! I believe what you have is a Schwinn Panther or Typhoon from the early 60's. I do not have a Schwinn catalog, but I am sure that your fingers on the computer can probably come up with an exact model rather quickly. I believe that Schwinn used the white painted rims from around 1960 to about 1965, or so. The red band on the rear hub designates a Bendix manufactured coaster brake hub. Looks pretty darn nice for its age !
