Re: 1981 Schwinn Scrambler Phantom
Clean classic look that made Schwinn a household name in BMX. That color was a lil less common then the red ones. I would only change it to skinwall sided tires or a Carlisle Aggressor in the front and get some traditional grips from that era. You can find Oury's fairly cheap and Schwinn carried that brand. I think they also carried Preston Petty. Well let me just break out my 78 catalog and see. In 1978 they carried Oury, Oakley and Scrambler grips with a ribbed or waffle design. (Sounds like a condom ad).

BTW love how you even have the chain guard and show it with it on and off. Total attention to detail.
