in the 90s there was a lower level schwinn model that looked similar to a Phantom but used the fender you described. It was not the reproduction Phantom. The Schwinn reproduction Phantom fenders and the fenders sold by Bones are both correct for a Phantom with fender light
In response to the og question...for me there are a few points...
I am not against restored bikes. I can fully appreciate the time spent and beauty of execution of a proper restoration but since I like to ride my bikes, I find that I just don't enjoy riding a restored bike as much as an original...
And my truck with another truck...<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="" title="Color CT B side"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/6143/5976317335_68ecd8fedb_z.jpg" width="640" height="469" alt="Color CT B side"></a><script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"...

I saw the ads on FB and also thought it was a scam since his prices were reasonable...now glad to hear that it isn't a scam and others are willing to vouch for him.
I don't have a dedicated camping bike since a lot depends on where I'm going and what I plan to be doing. I've camped with my prewar cycleytuck, a prewar C model 3spd klunker and a vintage Klien mtb...
Rick was always a friendly, kinda quiet guy that I wish I had gotten to know better...his smiling face and friendly hello will definitely be missed... I posted several pictures of Rick from our many Cyclone Coasters rides on my flickr page

too often we judge from what is in front of us without knowing the whole story...thanks for the kind words about your friend, we should all be so lucky...

As long as you're happy, ultimately that us all that matters...but I stand by my valuation...I have a prewar CT for sale for 1k (no ship) that is close to complete and it has been a slow seller yet worth much more than the later CT to collectors.
wow, that is prewar money and a good deal for the seller on a 6-700 bike...there are two more on craigslist for 2000 each near me, maybe they'll actually get it...and nobody wants my prewar cycletruck...lol
A prototype is made from input from a designer. Tooling, the most expensive preproduction element, is not made until everyone signs off on the product. So it is feasible that a prototype of a particular new bike, the above West Wind for example, is made then photos taken and pre marketing sales...
bike looks like it was restored with a combination of reproduction parts and repainted original frame and fork...pretty common technique after the parts from the 95 reissues were made available.
I've been watching his posts on that bike as he worked through the process...definitely going to make for a unique ride...been cool seeing the progress
I think a sympathetic "preservation" wouldn't be too tough. Since these bikes are raw, the surface cleans easily. Invest in a quality penetrant and start spraying all the spoke nipples, seatpost and stem. Once you get it apart, put your need list on the "wanted" section and get her back...
my 2 36 C models came with the narrower pullback bars, I think I still have a set. One was set up with horn light and the other with silverray...neither were drilled for wires or had button handlebars.
Red bikes...do I have any red bikes?
