Fresh Green Phantom Find

[Barkeep]

My brother came across this locally here in Austin Texas and went to check it out for me as it was in his neighborhood. I'm the Vintage bike guy he's the modern mountain bike guy so he didn't know what he was looking at and sent me photos. Said he could get it for two hundred bucks and wanted to know if that was too much! This was last weekend and I haven't seen it in person but I'm on my way to go pick it up now. Here's some photos from when he picked it up and I have a great story as it was from the original owners children. Until I get better pics and a year from the serial let me know whats wrong, missing, etc! Thanks!

Looks like Oct 1951 by the serial... going to be a nice rider. Any offhand wrong parts?

Awesome find, looks like it's gonna clean up great. They are very good riding bikes, and if you send that saddle out to Bob U. for a distressed leather recover, you will probably find its your most comfortable one. Ask me how I know!! Joe
