Maybe Gardner Westcott

I'm surprised someone has jumped on this.

After 1954/'55, the Jaguars were middleweight bikes with smaller tires. I think the dropout spacing was different also.

Here is a picture of my '54 Phantom. It should be the same as a 1955.

I didn't restore this Jaguar. It was restored by Samuel Adams of Goshin, Indiana. Thanks!

For your consideration is a 1954 Schwinn Jaguar in excellent condtion. The only parts I'm aware of that are not OEM are the acorn nuts on the underside of the seat, the Schwinn Typoon tires and the newly replaced cables. http://www.flickr.com/photos/20832064@N03/sets/72157631118823730/detail/...

The Phantom Has Been SOLD!

I've found some sellers at swapmeets don't have a problem selling to the highest bidder. In some case they couldn't care less if someone offered a higher price than the next guy regardless of who got there first. That old saying. "you snooze you lose."

Can't you be a cranky young fart?

I sent you a PM.

What is being called a stamp is most likely a die that was used buy a die press and not stamped by hand.

That's a very nice job. I've been looking for a similar project myself. I would rather have a balloon tire bike though.

I've got a 1974 Schwinn Le Tour frame I've been thinking about building.

Thanks! I ended up buying a set of Dia-Compe pads that work great.

Is that an original headlight?

I realize you may not want to put anymore into the bike than needed but it difficult to diagnose an issue until all of the mechanical dynamics have been corrected. I would start with the front axle. Possible if you have another wheel and tire you could install? Or, mount this wheel and tire...

Could it be missing some head tube bearings or the bearing race with excessive wear?

That would be a great inexpensive work stand. It seems like it wouldn't be very difficult to adapt a standard type bike stand clamping device to it. The only drawback I can see is that it would take up a lot of space in my case.

I think the group bike activities and participation is a great idea. Unfortunately I live in an area where there isn't much bike riding or places to ride.

How about donating it to a bicycle musium.

Does anyone have a Raleigh Technium that can tell me what brand and style the brake pads are? I've got maybe an '80 model that's in really good condition but it doesn't have brake pads or a chain and I want to get it back on the road so I can give it to a local kid.

Forgive my persistence here but I'm not sure my question was answered. There's no question this bike has been restored. I've had 3 people that claim to be a Schwinn bike aficionado that have actually looked at this bike. 2 of which say it's a 1952. The other said it's a 1954 model. By reviewing...

The bottom line is, if the extra money is more important than the nostalgic quality and value then so be it.

Same here.

I found that the original grips on my '54 a little loose when I first got it. I pulled the grips off and cleaned the handlebars and the inside of the grips with Simple green and then used a heat gun to warm up the grips. When I finished the grips went on good and tight.

I didn't think you could mount 26 x 2.125 tires and wider rims on a middleweight frame.

I see you don't have the correct screws that fasten the braces and the rear light to the rack. I found the correct SS screws at Gardner Westcott.

The fender braces look flat to me.
