Yup that's mine. As I am new to bike restoration/history, I would appreciate any and all info you have on this bike. Serial number (KR 55xxxx) indicates it was manufactured in Oct 1980 (from a website I found).  Some (dumb) questions I have, I hope you can help...

1- If this bike was manufactured in Oct 1980 (serial KR 55xxxx from ebay description) would this appear in the 1980 or 1981 Schwinn catalog?
2- Where can I find the 1981 Schwinn catalog on the internet? I located the 1980/1982 at http://genesbmx.bmxair.com/schwinn/catalogs/bmx.html but I'd love to find the 1981 catalog somewhere.
3- Is this bike a Scrambler or a Phantom Scrambler?  What's the difference?
4- Can you tell if those chrome handlebars are original ?

Again, thanks and any info you could provide would help me a great deal :)

You know, this bike looks like an '82 model, due to the frame geometry under the seatpost. Not sure why the serial number indicates an earlier model.
