Duncan’s 1987 Panasonic Sport-500 10-Speed

Posted

Today’s OTS, a 1987 Panasonic Sport-500, sent in by Duncan has been beautifully rehabilitated and looks like he just rolled it out of the LBS. This thing reminds me of the Jack Tripper Special from a while back. Great looking bike Duncan, but remember to include at least one shot of the drive side, so we can see the bling.

My dad picked up this 1987 Panasonic Sport-500 for me at a yard sale last October for free (broken chain). After several hours of scrubbing, chrome polish, waxing, adjusting brakes/headset/shifters, and throwing on a new chain ($18 at LBS… ouch!), I have a like-new ride. Original tubes hold air perfectly! Ideal bike for my 6-mile commute.

Thanks Duncan

    Can we call my campaigning “enthusiastic” rather than “aggressive”? 😉 Thanks to all who voted – the whole process injected a lot of fun in my day.

    Hey Duncan, im rehabbing one of these now, and though this is quite an old post, wherein I still hope you or someone in the know sees my question here. You mentioned a new chain, what exactly was that chain you fitted for this Sport 500. Thanks!
