This was a bike for the wife. She's 5'4" and I found this 49cm Schwinn Paramount.
I google-fu-ed and marking this bike as a 1991 Schwinn Paramount that was the first in a series that were made in Taiwan.

The normal specs were Shimano RSX100 all around:

Shimano 105 Cranks
Shimano 105 Rear Derailleur
Shimano 105 Hubs

I striped the bike down to the frame and then rebuilt it. It was a fun day.
Here's the best part: when I showed my wife the bike she said that she liked it... but would rather have a "pink bike"
?!!!
ah well... I put it on craigslist and it was sold within 5min of posting the listing. It went to this cool young military guy who was a fellow bike nut. We ended up having a lot of things in common and talked for an hour.
