Before you dig into a project like this take good look at the photos a figure out what’s missing and where you can get the parts from. I am pretty sure that SirMike put a lot more into the bike than I paid for it. New rims, tires, tubes, saddle, brake pads at least plus the effort to build new wheels, and restore the original finish.
It looks like a great place to ride. That bike has the true, "old school" roadster ride where you sit almost straight up in the saddle. Phillips made some solid, old fashioned bikes in that era.
