NOS Paramount find!

Yesterday, I drove two hours each way to buy my husband a 1985 Centurion Elite RS (because it has nearly the same paint job as my '86 Ironman, matching bikes are cool) but I somehow ended up with two bikes. This NOS 1991 Schwinn Paramount Series 5 just jumped into the back of my truck! Seriously though, this bike looks like it just came off the showroom floor, cause it pretty much did. A hoarder guy passed away and this was one of many NOS bikes he had. I know these bikes get a bad rap for not being the real deal, but the craftsmanship on this Japanese built beauty is top notch. (too bad about the 105 components) My husband will modify it to make it suitable for our riding area and he will ride this bike until he can't make circles anymore...and the Centurion too! These pics are right after bring it home
