Schwinn Phantom in great condition!
This is a Vintage used Schwinn Black Phantom.  This bicycle was manufactured on November 11, 1950 in Chicago IL, USA.  The bike is unfortunately missing some of the iconic parts that make it a truly great balloon tire bicycle.  The lights, rear rack, original fenders, and seat, wheels, and chain are missing.  The bike itself is in very nice condition both aesthetically and mechanically and is a fine example of the balloon tire bicycle.

From the 1954 Schwinn catalog: 
"Nothing in the world like it!  The most beautiful bike you can own!  You've never seen such a bicycle.  Completely equipped with every accessory imaginable to delight the eyes of every youngster.  Includes springer fork, cycelock, stop and tail light, chrome trimmed fork, cantilever frame, white wall tires, genuine leather saddle, chrome fenders."

Notice there is no cyclelock on the fork on this model.

Built November 11, 1950, in Chicago Illinois.
