The '''Panasonic Sport Deluxe''' is a road sport [[bicycle]] by National (later, Panasonic), which was exported to the United States from 1971 to 1989. Originally built in [[Osaka]], [[Japan]], later bikes may be either of Japanese or [[Taiwan|Taiwanese]] origin. <br />
<br />
The [[Panasonic]] Sport Deluxe utilized [[Suntour]] and [[Shimano]] group parts such as derailleurs, shifters, and crankset.<ref>[[Richard Ballantine|Ballantine, Richard]], ''Richard's Bicycle Book'', New York: Ballantine Books (1978), p. 53</ref> The Sport Deluxe frame was originally built out of double-butted 1020 high-tensile steel,<ref>Ballantine, Richard, ''Richard's Bicycle Book'', New York: Ballantine Books (1978), p. 53</ref> though bikes produced in later years may have frames of butted chrome molybdenum steel alloy. <br />
<br />
All production of Panasonic bicycles for the U.S. market ended in September 1989, following the death of National/Panasonic's founder, [[Konosuke Matsushita]]. Many Sport Deluxe bikes are still being used today in Japan and the USA.<br />
