1995 Anniversary Schwinn Black Phantom...Finally Mine!

[HARPO]

I've read all different ways that Schwinn made the bike parts...wax casting...old molds, etc. So, I figured what better way than to go to the 1995 catalog and see what it says. I should have thought of this in the first place!!

Seeing this one makes it very clear how a newbie could be fooled, cause this thing looks like a legit 1950's garage-find survivor!

Chrome is cleaning up VERY nicely!

Looking good! Thinking I might trade in my rusty 53 for a new one.

Nice job on the clean up! You're definitely putting in some elbow grease time.

I love detailing the bikes as much as riding them! This is how I keep my cars, and I use a lot of the same products on the bikes.

And, being retired, gives me all the time in the world without work "interfering" with working on them.
