Man that thing is cool! Don't remove too much of that gorgeous look.

I am going leave it alone just add the rack & pedals & ride the wheels off it , thanks for your input buddy

I love the history old survivors wear. Whether a old car, motorcycle, bicycle, it really speaks to me when I see it. Great ride, keep it that way.

I sure will , thanks buddy

Here’s my old Black Phantom tank. The Schwinn decal was completely missing.

I made a tracing of SCHWINN from the pages of Memory Lane catalog back in ’95 when
they offered water-transfer decals for several brand bikes.
I transferred the letters to a brass sheet plate that was thin enough for me to cut & file as needed.
I used brass because I knew the brass would tarnish with time. Which is what I wanted
so that it would match the rest of my Phantom.
Eventually, got the water decals from ML, but kept the one I had made for the tank.

Thanks buddy i love these old bikes , took a long time to gdt that way , i will send you some pics of my crusty black phantom with a bullet hole in the tank ☺

Be careful who rides your bike! A good friend rode my bike but forgot to mention
that he had a fight with his girlfriend.
Luckily, the letters were not damaged! (wink-wink) Just kidding!
