Cruisin' on my Bluebird
I don't post here a lot, or at all honestly because I just don't seem to find the time, but I get a lot of important info from here so thanks for that.
Ive been collecting prewar, post war balloon tire and pre-60's track bikes since my pops got me into em in the 1980's. My collection is pretty hefty, but the one bike I never landed and always wanted was a Schwinn Phantom.....Hell even in the 80's and 90's I never found one. Well my "luck" finally changed last week and you'll probably think Im nuts for taking on an incomplete Phantom, but to me, it had just enough parts to make me feel good. Lol
This is a 1951 Black Phantom and all the parts on it are original to it. Sad to say, as goes most of my project bikes, I have to source things. Im going to be sourcing (when I find em), only original finish parts....It has a locking fork with the original key still in it, which was a huge deal for me too!
Thread will be slow but here goes.
