Well i let go of one of black phantoms recently to a good friend. Im not trying to corner the market on phantoms, but mainly because i learned about this bike and had to rescue it!
This is a 57 Ross Cycle Truck made by Chain Cycle Company and owned by the Houston Post Office and has spent decades locked in the back stock of a local bicycle shop! For the most part its complete and original but the fact that it has its original sign is the seller to me.
Back fender needs some hammer/dolly work and the lowest fender brace is trashed. It has New Departure inch-pitch in the rear and Bendix model K front.
Blessed to own this beautiful bike!
Only ever seen maybe 3 others of the Ross cycle trucks.
