I got it! It needs some TLC obviously, but I'll give it what it needs.

Personally Phantoms are some of my favorite riders. Nice score. V/r Shawn

I wonder why they put the chain guard like that.

Did some Phantoms have cloverleaf sprockets? Or was this sprocket changed?

I believe late 54/early 55 was the first year for the clover change. My late 54 has one as well as my 55...

The chain ring is correct for the bike. Like tacochris said there was a change in '54--to a lot of things e.g. colors (Opalescent vs. solid) and making previously standard features optional such as locking fork. V/r Shawn

That chainguard needs attention
