1972 Paramount... opinions needed
I have a chance to pick this frame up this afternoon. I'd appreciate any comments or opinions. the owner purchased it in the late 70s and never built it up. The first owner made a feeble attempt to touch up the frame with a darker blue. But generally, I think it is in pretty good shape. I have not looked at it in person yet. Here's the link to pics:

If it's in your price range, do it!

Way too small... I'm not sure what I'll do with it. I just hate to pass on it. I also want to make sure if I decide to flip it, that I don't lose any money.

Yeah there's a dang Schwinn WS locked to a fence on my dog walking route, and no matter how many times I pass it, that blue out the corner of my eye makes me think PARAMOUNT!
I dunno - unless it's an insanely good deal, why would you get it if it isn't close to your riding size?

Noah,
Looks to be a 56cm? If so, it's my size.
If you grab it for flipping, shoot me a pm and let me know what you might want for it. I had a Varsity that color when I was a kid, until some ******* stole it. I might want to relive and upgrade some old memories in one fell swoop.
