1952 Schwinn Phantom First Day

This is video of my 52 Schwinn Phantom I bought for my wife. This was the first day that I took it home. It was full rust all over the bike, tires were shot, and flat, all the bearings were shot, and it had no chain. So I couldent even ride the bike. Now it is fully restored, and looking good.

that is not the right sprocket or spring forks or the rigt color and it has wrong grips.

Yea the bike came with alot of wrong parts when I got it from the antique store, but as of now, most of the correct parts have been reinstalled to put it back to it's original condition.

Nice bike, but I don't think that it is a Phantom.

[rhsxo]

Oh it's a Phantom. It just has the Phantom Sticker removed, and some of the parts are not correct, but it's a Phantom.

Yup.. Looks right except for the sproket. Not sure if they still used the skipthooth up to 52

[oldtilter]

Did the horn have the original Ray-O-Vac Batteries?:)

@rhsxo nice i need oneof thosee

[itsrandy]

did you check the numbers on it they are on the left side in the back next to the axle you can go on line and it will tell you the year it was built and what model it is. i have a 1962 super deluxe hornet 26 inch and it looks just like yours but the colors.- im quite sure a 1952 has bigger chain links the sprocket looks like every other tooth is missing on the 50s bikes and they have wider rims i feel strongly yours is from the 60s

[frequencydude]

now thats a bike!..

[95bradley08]

i just through one away are theys expensve bikes

Its not a phantom, it has the same body style but it is not the real deal. This is a regular schwinn with some phantom style parts. You cant say otherwise because it has a small schwinn plate in the front instead of the large one, if it was a real phantom there would be no way the plate would fit because it is too small. You probably have a schwinn hornet.
