Upgrade from Schwinn Paramount
Hello All,

For about 20 years now I've had a 2nd hand Schwinn Paramount Series 9C PDG Carbon Fiber with all original components except the shifters and the Wolber TXPROFIL rims.
Occasionally I've thought about upgrading, but never did since it has always done me well. However, I've been looking again, but need to know what minimum I should be going for to be sure I'm getting significantly better than what I have.

I know it's a pretty open ended question, but what would you be looking for to replace this without breaking the bank. I'll be looking in the used market. Even a 15 year old bike is only half as old as mine is now. For example, a 2007 Trek Madone 5.5 w/ Dura Ace & Bontraeger Race-Lite wheels came up locally for $850 that I thought might be a good upgrade, but then realized I don't know enough about the Paramount to be sure.

Thanks.
