Schwinn Paramount
Hey guys, I have a Schwinn Paramount Road bike and I am trying to figure out the year and possible worth. I have located a P1 stamping on the bottom and it was made out of Chicago. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

With P1 on BB early 70's. What is the serial # its on the non drive side rear droup out It's a letter followed by 4 or 5 numbers? This will tellyou the month made and the year. Will need pictures to trll you the model and give you an idea of value.

If i remember right the P1 on the bottom bracket meant that the paramount was not made in Chicago but in Racine Wisconsin .

If you can get the serial number on the non drive side dropout that will indicate year and month of manufacturing.
