1997 Schwinn Classic Cruiser Custom.

I worked in the factory that made the reproduction Black Phantom bicycles. I did the pinstriping of the tanks and chain guards. The factory was in Ontario, California. The Kirkbride family ran this factory. The frame welders were in San Bernardino, and the powder coater next door to the factory. It was a pretty amazing operation. Factory location near Franklin and Grove off the 60 freeway.

One more thing if this is was made in USA it shouldn't be half the serial number in the bottom of it on the back of the frame of the wheel and there you have it made in the US but if this it doesn't have one that had to be made in China

And my handle bars are only $30 for the phantom reproduction

[@sting64az]

+Leifberg Studios That is a good price. These pre-war 40's re-issue were less then $30.00 back in 1996 when they came out. Now most of Phantom re-issue parts have triple the original prices. This one i seen go off over $250.00 on ebay several years ago.

@@awesomeone2979 .. Returning the bike to Walmart? Is this something to boast about? Would other commenters do that? I hope not.

The frames are all the same

[@garyquail2347]

I believe the balloon tire frame was not the same size as you think you're probably thinking of a middleweight frame but the balloon tire fenders would not fit inside the middleweight frame actually the frame is it design from the 1946 Schwinn B6 autocycle.
