I bought a 72 Paramount frame on Ebay a year ago. I was not that interested in this particular frame because it had been refinished with added braze ons, but I put in a bid, went away, and came home to find out I had won the thing. When I got it, I was totally shocked how nice the chrome was on the fork ends, seat stays and beautiful Nervex lugs. Another bonus was that it was the road racing frame without eyelets on the dropouts. I built it up and ride it regularly. I absolutely love it! I would like some decals (or vinyl) for the Schwinn Paramount lettering on the downtube if and when I can find them.

I haven't given up my search for an all chrome Paramount, which is my version of the Holy Grail.

Don't give up!
