Ran into this today on my way back home from work. It's probably going to the for sale section. I'm not really into muscle bike's and I figured someone on here might want it, atleast for parts. It's got a sweet looking banana seat that should clean up good.Everything works besides the speedo ...

Thanks for the information man and yeah it totally does !!!

Man I still think it hasn't set in that this is my bike ! LOL Thanks man ! **Edited to add** I took the tank off to check out the horn and it looks to be in real good shape ! The button is free and seems to be fine. I'm thinking if I cleaned the contacts and put batteries in it I got a...

The bike that started my addiction ! A frame a club member gave me that I threw some junk parts on Newly found 52' Schwinn Phantom

Hay man I dig the bike , and you're helping out a cool company !!!

Awesome ! Thanks guys and for the fast replies ! Yeah I was thinking a brass brush ill try the 0000 also . It'll be a while because of how much I work bit results are coming soon from the clean up ! =) Can't wait

First off thanks for taking some time to possible helping another member out ! Now here's what's going on. I'm not a Schwinn guy by any means and I'm looking for any information I could learn from you guys about my new bicycle whick I believe is a 1952 BF Goodrich Schwinn Phantom. The head badge...

Nah shipping would kill it for me. I'd rather buy a pair at the LBS and dirty them up and save some coin. If you were close tho I"d take you up on that. Just picked me up some new brass brushes today and some chrome polish. I'm about to go to town on it tonight ! =) Aslo anybodu know what's...

=O Awe man I've never seen one of thos before I want to try it !! That's awesome !

Lol I agree Crash it does go well with the green doesn't it. I don't really like.cream tires at all but I think a dirty pair would set it off nicely but as I said I want to keep it close to stock as possible so white walls it is ! But yeah man that's my plan ! Justride the key is for the fork...

1952 BF Goodrich Schwinn built Phantom (as the badge says lol ) as found Here it is with a lite clean up and new rims to make it a rider =)

Sorry for the double post for some reason I can't edit my first post again .. (idk) If you want better pictures let me know. I would love to know more about the bike , like options it could have came with, maybe where it was built, etc . A value would be nice to but I don't really care much...

My dad likes to go auctions here and there so being a bicycle guy I told him to look out for old bikes for me. Every now and again I'll get a call about something he finds but it's usually some junker bike from the 70's or earlier , well one time he did find me a Krate parts bike but usually 90%...

Right on guys , thanks ! I can't wait either ,for the first time I get to have a decked out flaked and striped oldschool hotrod/lowrider style paint job. I love flaked out and kandy paint jobs as said like the oldschool lowriders like where they just went crazy on their roofs or the whole body...

Welp made more progress and decided on a different metal flake. Roth does offer a awesome flake but she picked a lightly different shade of green. Besides I got it for cheap! lol Got all the extra parts finally ( chrome chain, wheels, chaingaurd, fenders, sprocket, PAINT etc ). I'm at the point...

Well I'm lucky enough to live in a city that has bike lanes, paths, and trails everywhere that take you all around the city and to others ! So I ride thos alot, mostly to downtown or around the parks near me, also around the neighborhood. I like to ride the Monon trail alot too. It takes you...

Agreed and people expect quality for pennies, I knew what I was buying don't get me wrong. This is more of a warning to watch out if you're not buying name brand and curious about the cause of it snapping but yes it is the thin walled cheap metal crafting of the piece.

Well I'd say to keep your dad's old bike up for safe keeping and also you wont have to worry about messing it up or breaking something. With that one you can tinker around with and do whatever you want and still have a back up. Also your new bike should be alittle easier to modify with no...

I mean don't get me wrong he wasn't going off ramps or jumping cars but he rides the wheels off it , heh sorry did. I know it's a cheap fork and all but the steer tube snapping !? Bent legs, lots of rust build up quick, or something minor that's understandable but man that's a major failure in...

It's a good shop, Scott's a cool guy real helpfull and friendly
