If there are places where I can get parts (mainly a frame) to put together a bike like this then please post a link!
Thanks ahead of time.
Try Ebay/ collectibles/ bicycles.
To me the schwinn phantoms are ugly. Especially the cheaper retro ones like the one in the pic. Too much chrome. The B-6 is basically the same bike but painted and looks much better. Take a look at "nostalgic net" to see other models.
If you are determined to build a schwinn "memory lane" has a lot of the repo parts. Also Roadmaster, Columbia, and True Value have made fully dressed retro cruisers. The parts however end up going for the same cash as the vintage ones.
My expeience it is better to start with a bike with all the bits than to peice one together.
