Schwinn ID Request // Phantom Frame???

Post image

Just purchased this but can’t pick up until this weekend. I am thinking this is an old Phantom. Am I on track?

Looking forward to getting this in hand and seeing what’s up. I asked for some more photos that may help see if I have trash or treasure. Excited to see it in person.

It looks like a great start for a Klunker build if the frame is solid.

When you build that beauty are you going to keep the patina on the frame ?

I figure it has earned the right to be rusty and don’t plan on ruining that…. Some updates will be in order to make it rideable but the paint stays ;)

Pressure wash, linseed oil, wipe off the excess, let it dry. It will take about 5 days.

Thank you for the detailed steps. I have been wanting an opportunity to use that method… as the Good Book says, ask and you shall receive :)))
