1956 Red Schwinn Phantom

Picked this up today. 1956 Phantom. Rims are shot but the rest of the bike will clean up nicely for a decent survivor rider. Only missing the horn, front lens and rear reflector.

Nice Schwinn find. Have fun with it.

Nice! Clean it, grease it and lose the basket, and go.

Oh you lucky dog. Nice bike. It's perfect the way it is, just replace what it needs and call it done.

Cleaned and greased for summer...

Added a NOS set of USA made Typhoon Cords and a Minty 1956 S-2 rimset I had stashed for awhile. Found a lens for the light and correct 3" reflector for the rear.

I don't know how serious CCR was but I liked the basket and I hesitate to say it, the streamers too. Your bike is AMAZING looking as it now stands but those little added touches made it stand out from the pack in my opinion. It's those ridiculous accessories that give it a true survivor look. Like on the bike below. I could never imagine adding the sticker or the snoopy but now I can't imagine this bike without them. Let me be clear in that I Love your bike any which way!

Basket would be cool, but definitely put the streamers back on. Sweet ride. 8)

I was serious about the basket, but the bike does look cool as all get out all shined up, plus i know the squeaks can drive you nuts with a springer and a basket on it too :wink: just a cool bike, really glad you kept the blackwalls on there too !!!
