1949 Phantom & 1995 Phantom Value

I appreciate the advice guys! I'm going to send him a realistic offer but to hime probably a low ball offer, lol

If you are willing to invest a couple grand in these two why not spend it on one fine original unrestored survivor?

Sorry, didn't look that close. Just saw the color. This is one I parted that had the springer lock and stem. Pedals were switched. I do have his and her maroon and black.

You can't get much for $100.00 anymore. I think the Schwinn Cruiser or Rolling Rock gotta be worth that as beaters or a non collector quick commuter. It all depends on your budget too. I'd rather ride a classic that was made in North America by craftsman, even if it's a bit weathered. Chances are the fork won't break or the crank isn't cross threaded. Some of these cheap bikes were not assembled by competent people ( or machines) and the parts are crap. Destined to fail or fall apart. Offshore bikes assembled at Walmart back shipping dock by students high on glue? No thanks.

All I can say about the Walmart employees is that at least they ARE working & have a job. Not like others collecting welfare or handouts.

Be careful not to go off the train tracks! these are divisive times!

I've had 2 rolling rocks, and 2 cruiser sevens and never had a quality issue. These steel frames are a great bang for the buck!
