If this is what vintage names have become...

It's stated that thing weighs 50 lbs!! Good gawd, a lead turd.

Hey, it's got white tires too! Made somewhere else for easy-button americans.

.. It's vintage dude

Vintage is in vogue. Everybody likes classic vintage, but some people can't handle the dedication it takes so they buy the wannabes in whatever market and can still pose. Did you see the mega dollar cars at Barrett Jackson that were "wrapped" to look like original and rusty, but bidders were assured they were new high dollar paint jobs under the wrap. Yep takes all kinds and manufactures will follow the dollars.

Does the rake or head tube angle look kind of odd?

 

[abe lugo]

I noticed that rake also! maybe the fork was put on backwards?
you guys do realize that Schwinn is now a just a name like the late 1800/early 1900's defunct bike companies were bought up and used as Badge names and some of the parts lived on.
Like Victor bicycles I know there are few more, Black Beauty..

I wished I had 10% of the bicycle knowledge of most everyone here![emoji16]
All I know is I like and appreciate old bikes.
This is unbelievable to me calling this a Phantom. My question though is, and I assume I'm right, this one I found on Schwinn's site...that must be made in China? I guess it's junk?
Thanks!

Doesn't look like this O.G Phantom at all.
