Subject: [OK-Bicycle-Market] FS: 56cm Schwinn Paramount complete bike
with Shimano Ultegra components



This is a complete bike for sale and is, in fact, my personal ride. This
vintage 1988 Schwinn Paramount, built in the legendary Waterford
factory, measures 56cm from the center of bottom bracket to the top of
the top tube with a 55.5cm top tube. The frame and fork are painted a
beautiful Racing Red. The paint is in very good condition, owing both to
the quality of the initial paint job and the care that was taken in
protecting this frameset over the years. The paint was hand sprayed,
with two coats of epoxy primer followed by four to five coats of acrylic
urethane enamel color and protective clear coats.

This lugged steel frame was hand built and silver brazed to within .005"
alignment tolerance by some of the most revered master craftsmen in the
history of frame building. The decal on the steel tubing shows it to be
Columbus SLX, which was the high-end steel available when this Paramount
was built in the famous Waterford factory in 1988.

The frame has investment cast lugs and bottom bracket shell. There are
two sets of water bottle bosses, pump peg and chain hanger, and the rear
brake cable is routed on the top of the top tube. All of the tubes have
been treated with Boeshield T-9 rust prevention spray.

The components are all high end as well. The brakes, cranks, 9 speed STI
shifters, derailleurs, bottom bracket, chain, cassette (12/27), headset,
and hubs are all Shimano Ultegra. The wheels are black Mavic Open Pro's
with Michelin tires. There is a Thomson seatpost, Specialized BG saddle,
3T stem, Look-type pedals, and an Axiom wireless bike computer. The
components all have less than 1000 miles on them.

This is a very nice looking and great riding bike at a fantastic price.
There are some touched-up paint chips and a couple of chips to the
decals, but this bike is in very good condition and has been well
maintained.

Paramount's have an impeccable reputation for quality workmanship and
wonderful ride. $795 for the complete bike picked up in McAlester.
Pictures available for the asking.

Thanks,

Frank in McAlester
