Hey Y'all. My friend, who knows a bit about bikes, told me I have something special on my hands and that I should post something about it. I took some photos of it and was looking to find some more info about it.

It's a 1973 Schwinn Paramount. It has a tire holder beneath the seat (!) and a coin stamped on the top tube of St Christoper, the St. of safe travel (!!).

It has a HUGE box of parts and is a dream to ride. I'm looking to get rid of it and maybe part it. But I'd rather not.

I live in Los Angeles and honestly have no idea what the true value of the bike is, but I imagine it's something special.

Anyone help me?

Yoram
