I'm actually really impressed that you can judge how much I know about bicycles by a couple questions about monetary value on a website!

I guess I should just quit building bikes, I never even realized I was so clueless. I had no idea the Schwinn Paramount was such a popular bike, I'm surprised you've even heard of it! I definitely didn't ask that question here because I like these forums and wanted to hear what people had to say, it was because I really have no idea what's going on.

Thanks for enlightening me.

Definitely still getting the bike so I can ruin it.
