This is a bicycle I have owned for many years. I just thought it was one of the nicest bikes Schwinn put out.
This will be the third motor I have put on it. Electric, then a MX-5 and now a new Whizzer engine.
This engine was modified by a pretty sharp fellow named Quention of Whizzer Outer Banks, North Carolina
It has a redesigned high compression head, high lift cam, ported and relieved and a larger 26mm carb.
The wheels have been relaced using Whizzer spokes,hubs and brakes but retaining the Black Phantom Rims.
I wanted to keep the Black Phantom Bicycle look and that's the reason for the gas tank under the seat.
Even with the mods done to the engine it starts very easy, runs and idles down smooth. It is capable of doing 65 - 68 mph. I have no intention of riding it that fast but quention has the same engine on his Whizzer and that's the speed he attains. I know, it's illegal as all get out but I keep the speed down so our police friends are not forced to pull me over. The power is mainly for hills. It does ride and handle very nice.

Sorry, did something wrong. Hope I make it this time with the pictures. This is normal for me doing it over again 2, 3 ,4 times until it get it right and sometimes never right
