phantom sighting




while i was at d'leons having a quick breakfast (a steak ranchero) these two younger guys ride up and smoke a few before going inside to eat. when i was leaving i noticed their bikes. keeping my surly crosscheck company outside was a bmx bike and an old schwinn cruiser, but not just any cruiser. it was an original black phantom. i don't think the guy had any clue what it was. he kind of looked like a farm kid though, so perhaps he got it from a relative's barn or something, who knows. it looked complete and in decent shape. i thought about going back inside to ask the guy about it and see if he'd wanted sell it, but i decided not to.
