1950 Schwinn Black Phantom

[hzqw2l]

Got this today at a local auction. Will clean up to C9+. Completely original unmolested early Black Phantom. Can't wait to get the wax out.

Crank is broken on the right side. Probably some over zealous skidding by the original owner. I assume his dad hung it up and never got it down again. Original tires and super nice original correct un riveted seat.

Once again, proof that bikes like these are still out there. The stainless steel fenders are in beautiful condition, like all the Schwinn bicycles. Those bikes cost more for a reason... better materials and workmanship.
