The Schwinn Paramount was one of the more popular higher end bikes in the early 1970's. The full chrome plating made for a very durable and handsome finish and remains one of the more sought after "colors". This bike was purchased from the grandson of the original owner. He remembered his grandfather riding it on the weekends and keeping it on a stand in the living room when he wasn't riding it. The rear bag contains all the paperwork for the bike including sales tags and repair receipts. Most of these bikes were ridden fairly hard so replacement components are usually found on them. this bike was exceptionally well maintained and I believe it to be completely original with the exception of the tires. It is not often you see a nicer bike with the original reflectors in place and a generator light mounted to the forks!
