1953 Schwinn Black Phantom K21536 Original Paint Genuine Vintage 53

  
This is a 1953 Schwinn Black Phantom. Since I have owned it I only used it for local parades. This has original paint except for on the headlight housing and rear rack. The headlight housing and rear rack are reproduction but were painted to match the bike.

This has a locking fork with the original key. All of the decals are original. The fenders, crank, sprocket, and all the chrome but the horn tank have been either replated or replaced. This has the wider accessory handlebar and I believe it is a reproduction. The horn tank is an unrestored original and is super nice.

I have never had a battery in either the headlight or horn tank. The wheels are stamped Schwinn but are either replated or reproduction. The tires and messenger seat are reproduction. The tail light is the original one that came with the bike.

The vintage cereal box license plate is an original. The coaster brake does not stop perfectly. There is a small grove on the frame from when the original crank was a bit bent long ago.

That crank has been replaced. This bike is super nice but it is not perfect..

I was putting together a collection of every color Phantom and this was one of the bikes from that collection. The frame number is K21536. I will be listing a few more vintage Schwinn bikes and parts soon so be sure to view my other auctions for more great stuff.
