Schwinn Paramount series 20 Chromoly steel is real Tange Prestige mountain bike 1992. The asymmetrical chainstays mark this as one of the premium framesets.
This classic machine has a quality frame set and rigid fork that flew under the radar of many buyers until now. This was very light and super handling that you would expect from a race ready MTB at the time. This one has all of the typical upgrades for this era: Specialized Son Of Strongarm crankset (Specialized had a big aftermarket sales presence), Tom Ritchey rear wheel, Araya lightweight front wheel, both of which show little to no wear. CNC cantilever center pull brakes. Bontrager alloy handlebars, Fitzik lightweight seat (tired, has Lycra seat cover). Specialized alloy pedals with toe clips. Period correct tires which have very good tread, newer tubes hold air fine.
19” frame center to top, 22 1/2” top tube, 29 1/2 “ standover height.
This bike can be ridden, but is not shifting. Cables need tuning or replacement.
