Finally riding a big boys bike
1956 Schwinn Red Phantom - $1,200 - S/N N53082 - NOW $1,100
I've decided to part ways with my '56 Red Phantom.
To be clear I'm a novice regarding Schwinns of this era. Most of you know far more than I. If I overlook something it's not intentional.
I know that the grips and pedals are not original and that the guard is incorrectly installed. Also, there is an area of house paint on the top tube. I put pressure on it with my fingernail and it flaked right off. A couple small areas (runs) may require a little more elbow grease, but it seems like a pretty thin coating. Headlight and horn are untested. Overall it's a very straight and complete bike.
Right now it's local pick-up or delivery to Bicycle Heaven later this month. I may be going to Memory Lane in Sep, but not sure. Selling this to someone who will be there would get me to go. I may ship, but saving that as a last resort.
More detail pics to come, but I just wanted to get this listed today.
All questions and pic requests happily accommodated. Just let me know.
