Out of curiosity, is your Phantom a 59?

What do I have? What do you need? '65 Cycle Truck up for a part out. | All Things Schwinn
Hello The Cabe. This is my backup Cycle Truck. I have a nice original '61, so this one is redundant for me. From what I can read on the serial, it's 11/10/65. It was already painted like this when I got, so don't start with me 🤷. This post is to judge interest on the parts, and to humbly ask for...

I have a 59 Wasp at home as well as an early 50s Phantom and I'm fairly certain they are the same width. I can confirm if needed.
As many Cycle Trucks as I've seen at swap meets and had on my stand, I don't remember any(that were clearly originals) having a white tail on them, they just had the parallel pin stripes.

I have a 54 Phantom as well as the 59 Wasp that I can compare now that you mention it. From what I've seen in pictures of the 60's CT's, you have confirmed that about the rear fender only having the pin stripes. Thanks...

Any chance that up 64 CT had white tipped fenders since the wasp had white tip fenders and both used exact part number? If the paint was diffrent wouldnt it have a seperate part number like the older balloner with white tips and the the old balloner without white tip

Shouldnt the part number be diffrent since paint scheme is diffrent? Any possibility that CT up to 1964 had tips and the following year since Ct was the only one left they only did pinstripes on those fenders?

If you look at the Wasp and CT found in the 1964 catalog, you will see the Wasp has a white tipped rear fender. In all the pictures I have seen of a 64 CT, it simply has pinstripes. The 64 catalog lists both rear fenders as a 5200A, telling me it is just a part number, not cosmetic.
