Look Ma, No Hands!
I see what you meanWell that info opens up a whole new book. First thing is the serial number is on the drop out so it's not a 51 model since those numbers were under the crank. With that in mind, the factory issued rims would have been the tubular S-2's. I was just mentioning yesterday that there were errors on "all" of the serial number lists and I think your SN is in one of those error zones. Possibly the person that typed or transferred the list made a human error. Notice the first line of SN's. If that is in fact an error your Phantom's serial number was stamped at the beginning of 1953. I have a 53 Phantom and the rims are double knurled center stamped tubular S2's. New Departure rear hub and Schwinn script front hub.
