Description

Here is an original VINTAGE (I BELIEVE this bike is a April 1952 model. The serial number is J43653 and is stamped on the rear dropout) men\'s Schwinn Red Phantom bicycle with 26\" wheels. It is in the original and very appealing RED and BLACK colored factory paint. If you like TOP DOG, TOP OF THE LINE original bikes, this may be a great bike for you. (You see the Black Phantom bikes sometimes but rarely EVER see the Red Phantom bikes) This would need a total resto for show or would be the ULTIMATE \"rat rod\" bike! With the insanely high price of gas (and the economy being bad) now is the time to ride a cool vintage bike!

*To me this bike is amazing! 95% of the bikes sold new from this era were the plain, no frills bikes with no factory options. This was the best bike money could buy! Every kid wanted one of these back in the day, few were lucky enough to get one! Consequently, the originals are not easy to find these days in any condition. In fact, these bikes are so Iconic, Schwinn made an awesome reproduction of this bike back in 1995 during the 100 Year Anniversary of Schwinn!

*This bike has a cool mens B6/Phantom cruiser style frame with original paint, awesome front SPRINGER FORK with \"AS\" (Arnold Schiwnn) bolts, (this has a locking \"Cycle lock fork with key in place) frame mounted TANK, (no horn) brass \"the World\" head badge, deluxe Phantom chain guard, original Phantom cruiser seat, (needs resto) wide cruiser handlebars, newer hand grips, full fenders, (repainted) fendermounted \"train\" headlight with lens, (untested) deluxe sprocket, Persons Supreme deluxe pedals, 4 hole rear carrier Phantom RACK, rear lower rack mounted TAIL LIGHT, (no lens) and more!

*Add up the $ value of the parts. If you bought all these parts individually, you would spend THOUSANDS of dollars and it would take a LOT of time to do so! (dont think they are easy to find either as they are not!) Get this in one nice package!

*SO where did I get this bike??? I bought it from Mike Wolfe of the American Pickers! They hand picked this one themselves! Want proof.... check out the last pic. Yes, thats me on the right. I was going to keep this one in my personal collection forever but just have too many vintage bikes. I had a hard time deciding to sell this one. EVERYONE wants to own something found by the Pickers. Its harder to do than you think. When you go to their shop most of the really cool old stuff is NFS. (I scored a cool T-Shirt and a shot glass when I was there a few years ago) This is a great opportunity for you! This could be the COOLEST CHRISTMAS GIFT EVER! A \"rat rod\" Schwinn \"RED PHANTOM\" Picked by the American Pickers. This is as cool as it gets! ENJOY!

*The tires are 26x2.125\". They arecool vintage Schwinn Typhoon Cord WIDE WHITEWALL tires and do hold air. The bike has a chrome double knurled Schwinn S-2 front rim. The rear may have been replaced and has a New Departure rear hub!

*The bike is an original SINGLE SPEED with coaster brakes. (pedal slightly backwards to stop the bike)

*DIMENSIONS The stand over height is approx 30 1/2\". The distance from the floor to the top of the seat post clamp is approx 28 1/4\". The distance from the center of the crank to the top of the seat post clamp is approx 18 1/2\". The center of the handlebar stem to the center of the seat post is approx 22\". The bike will accommodate most any rider comfortably. The seat height is easy to adjust.

*NOTED FLAWS This bike is cool! It would need aresto for show or enjoy it in itscurrent patina. The paint looks fair for a 60+ year old bike! (has chips scratches etc but has that patina that so many people LOVE LOVE LOVE!) The chrome would need restoration for show. Both wheels have a slight wobble when you spin them. The front wheel is missing a spoke. The front fender is missing a lower brace arm. There is a very small crack on the front rh side of the tank. This is relatively common and usually happens from the springer fork. (see closup pic.) Not trying to nit pick this cool bike, just like to be honest. This bike is cool and has a fun history. If you would enjoy a real deal COOL original frame Phantom at a great price, you may really love this one. If you click on any of the pics they get very large to show lots of detail. Please take a look at all pics for exact condition and email with any questions before you offer.

*IN CLOSING, this is a truely AMAZING FIND! It you take good care of it, it will only go UP in value! Please check out all pics, I have nothing to hide and hope you LOVE your new vintage ride! These RARELY come along! When they are sold, they are generally traded privately amongst collectors and never hit the open market. This is a rare opportunity to own an amazing bike!

*This appears to be a fair original unmolested bicycle unless otherwise noted. A great bike to ride on relaxing days through the park or to the beach. Also would be a nice item to display in a shop, restaurant, rec room, sports bar, etc. Stand out from the crowd and be the envy of people who see you riding by. People will enjoy seeing you on your vintage bike! A great classic bike at a great price

*Why not ride a bike? You will live longer, feel better, and save $$$ vs of the insanely high cost of gasoline. If you are looking for a fun bike to ride and enjoy this may be it! A nice bike to cruise the beach or your local park! Priced way less than a dime store bike that wont be around 5 years from now, much less 30+ years like this one! Please give this bike a good home and DON\'T MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY! Classic bikes are very cool because not everyone on the block has one! People love to see and talk about and ride these classic bikes! They are more popular now than ever before!

*This may be a great Birthday or other special holiday gift for someone! It is never too soon to think ahead and get someone something they may really like!! This starts reasonably with ABSOLUTELY so offer early and don\'t miss out! These are getting to be hard to find in any condition and to my knowledge, have not been reproduced.

*Sold as is simply because it is used. I try my very best to describe as accurately as possible and disclose anything I am aware of about the bike. PLEASE NOTE that many of the bikes I list have listed have been in long term storage and have not been regularly ridden in a while.(not a bad thing) They may need standard tuning, greasing, may have old tires, surface rust etc. I try to be as honest as possible and never want to disappoint anyone. If you have any questions regarding any specific things concerning the bike, please feel feel to ASK via emali before you offer. Keep in mind you are offerding on a 30+ year old bike that is not a brand new bicycle so it may need minor tuning, cables or cable adjustment, if tires are original, they may or may not have sidewall cracks, etc. I try to be as honest as I can and disclose anything I know about the bike. I want you to be happy with your new vintage purchase but please understand the bike may need some tlc to be road ready.

*By offerding please understand that you are purchasing a used bicycle that may or may not need tlc. If I notice an issue, I always try to note it in the sale listing. I want you to be excited about your new bike and hope you really enjoy your new vintage ride for years to come. Be sure to check out all pics and email with any questions you may have before you offer regarding condition, mechanical items, etc.

*NOTE REGARDING SHIPPING YOUR BIKE Your bike will be partially disassembled and shipped to you in a factory bicycle box. We try our best to package the bicycles carefully to avoid any unnecessary damage caused in transit however, scratches etc are possible to happen in transit which we have no control over once shipped. We try to package well so the bike arrives to you in the same condition as it left us.

*SHIPPING COSTS: Fed Ex, USPS, as well as UPS have recently raised their shipping rates due to the higher cost of fuel. Sorry for the slight increase in shipping costs.

*PLEASE NOTE, I WILL NO LONGER BE SHIPPING FULL SIZE BIKES OUTSIDE OF THE USA. This is due to the high cost of shipping and customs. If you are anywhere outside the lower 48 States including Alaska, Hawaii, or Puerto Rico contact me before you offer as shipping will cost more. Fed Ex just increased the rates. I can ship to AK, HI, or PR for approx $159.95. This is a 10+ day service and includes packing. This i the best deal I can get to ship to these locations. Please do not offer if this is unacceptable. I always try to keep things as reasonable as I can. If you have a friend or family member in the lower 48 states, I can ship to them for the amount stated in the listing. THANK YOU!
