I don't know much about this bike other than it is very nicely built. From the Panasonic history website, Panasonic organized a Panasonic/Shimano team in the US in 1979. I really like the fastback seatlug treatment, but I could see problems with over tightening of the seatbolt with it threading into the other seatstay. The fork has beefy round fork blades and even the seatstays are rather large.This bike was at the Trexlertown swap meet. i assume it was for sale, but never asked a price.

It appears as though the front wheel is misaligned in the fork. Am I wrong or is it just a photo angle?

the front wheel was not properly installed in the dropouts.
Bruce Donaghy, Dave Grylls, Danny Clark.
