I'll almost guarantee it'll be an awesome ride.
BTW, Pompiere is right about the "495 A" indicating a 495mm (49.5cm) frame. The "A" indicates the fork has the shortest steerer tube. My '87 Paramount serial number 620E WK 87077 is a 62cm frame with a pretty lengthy "E" fork steerer. By 1987, Schwinn added a "W" for Waterford to the self-describing serial number. The K87077 translates to the 77th Paramount frameset scheduled for production during the month of October, 1987.
