52 Phantom Rehab

[sfhschwinn]

I got this on a tip from bikesnbusses and crazy8. It was in a hooka lounge in Astoria ny. My friend is parting a phantom that had a large amount of the frame repainted as well as repop parts so I bought the recovered seat, repop tail light and then a few other parts as spares. Rear Carlisle blew apart when I filled it up today. Will have original seat recovered. Tank is in the mail original but restored. Will clean the chrome in an OA bath as soon as it arrives. Can't wait to see final product! Rides great though

Here's a before and after refurb on my BD year Phantom. And a big thanks to Dan for this piece.

Have fun cleaning it up, it's worth the effort IMO.

What is the solution in the pool that removes rust, I cant believe the fenders? Is it available at a depot store or ACE hardware?
