Good, solid vintage bikes start around here at the $200 mark. Add a premium for indexed shifting, add another premium for high end model and the Paramount name. Deduct some as it is not in pristine ready to ride condition (needs tires, tubes, saddle, and a tune up in the ad, in person it will probably need more). My math puts all of that well under the asking price. But a week from now, with a motivated seller, it could be a real nice buy.

But in some areas, buyers are paying close to $300 for just about anything. So in a hot market, it would probably sell fast.


I just bought a Series 5 this afternoon, so I don't have a problem with Tange. The series 5 is one step up from this model (if I understand it right, that just means better components).

I like Tange just fine. In the keeper fleet right now I have my 1987 Schwinn Prologue (Tange Prestige), my 1984 Lotus Classique (Tange Champion 1), my 1992 Series 5 Paramount (Tange OS), and the 1984 Lemans 12 mixte (Tange Champion 5).
