68cm Paramount

Looks like its at Budget Bicycles in Madison, WI. Smartly built. 68cm w/61cm top tube. Perfect for me. Big bikes shouldn't at all be built square. Most tall people are proportionately taller in their legs than their torsos.

Lugged steel doesn't make a lot of sense with a big powerful cyclist. I'd be worried about that frame long term if ridden hard. Anyone who would fit the frame could deflect the BB just pedaling hard from the saddle and Schwinn should know that. However, an absolutely beautiful bike and a Paramount at that. Sure beats the heck out of the dime a dozen 27" Japanese bikes we always see.
