@SBerastequi - it was assembled many years ago only for display purposes in a museum setting so it has never been ridden and has not needed any real maintenance. The tires have been aired up with nitrogen and the chain has been lubricated over the years to keep oxidation at bay. We appreciate the questions so it's no bother at all.
Sorry to be such a bother but was wondering if you have had any maintenance done and when for the bearings and chain lubrication. Thanks

@SBerastequi hello. All components on this bicycle are as new when assembled and put on display. The tires are original and detailed photos have been submitted to PCarMarket to update the listing. The Serial number seems to be C27460
@SBerastequi I will check to see if we have any additional records and will upload additional detailed photos on Monday.
Thank you for the inquiry.
@SBerastequi I can be sure to make it available to a crating company so that you can make any necessary arrangements for shipping.
Any specific history on this bike, perhaps serial number would be nice. Tires look original or, at least, very dated?
Having a ‘53 Green Phantom and a ‘51 DX how will this Schwinn be shipped with minimal chance of damage?
Thank you
