Want:
Sport tour bike or frame. 53-54cm. Anything from the 80s onward. Contemporary examples might include Surly LHT, Soma Smoothie ES/Speedster, or Bob Jackson Audax End-End, Waterford RST-22: prefer horizontal dropouts, rack/fender eyelets and mounting points, ability to take 28mm tire w/ mudguards, lugs, steel. Basically a road bike somewhere between a heavy tourer and a light racer.
Have:
1990 Schwinn Paramount 53cm. Manufactured in Waterford USA factory. Deep, gorgeous, original candy maroon paint. Dura-ace hubs, 9sp cassette, BB, double crank, derailleurs, "Flightdeck" brifters. AC seatpost, Rolls "Titanio" saddle, Stronglight headset, Modolo stem and bars. Mavic rims, michelin racing 23mm tires with decent tread left. Excellent condition--components like new with little wear, frame has a couple of very slight, extremely small cosmetic scratches, but whole bike is about a 9/10 compared to a new bike.
Located in S. Maine, can ship.
Currently, the Paramount is assembled and being ridden on an irregular basis. Will trade whole bike for bike of similar quality frame and components, or happy to break it down and swap frames only. No pix, but can certainly supply some to your request, plus serial no. Would definitely consider lesser trade plus cash, or trade up for my bike plus a bit extra... or even willing to trade complete bike for the right frame.
