https://milwaukee.craigslist.org/bik...749238662.htmlNOS Schwinn Paramount 50th Anniversary Frame and Campy 50th Groupset - $10000 (1013 W. Lincoln)
Extremely rare Schwinn Paramount 50th anniversary frame and 50th anniversary Campagnolo Groupset NEVER ASSEMBLED! These were sold to a very select few Paramount dealers in 1988. This frame and group are STILL IN THE BOX! All components are included as well as the Campy carrying case and serial number card. This could be the crowning jewel in your collection!
BUT WAIT!!!!!! There's competition. Would you pay more for the following in as much it is already assembled and you don't have to do anything but hang it on a wall......I mean ride it?

The old Schwinns continue to command a premium. Especially when they're "highly collectible" with "all original parts."
Obligatory "serious buyers only" and "will entertain reasonable offers" made the ad too.
Seller made sure to touch all the bases.1957 Schwinn Stingray $2500 (Tucson)

^^^^^ Hardly C&V, though. Overpriced hunks of black/gray carbon are pretty common on the CLs around here.
Makes me wonder, though -- what happens with all those extreme aerodynamics when an average sized/shaped human sits on it?
