Paramount posibly being CONVERTED!!!
 

The chrome stays, bar end shifters are screaming Paramount, but I'm not sure. I don't see a Reynolds sticker, and I can't read the down tube. The head badge looks like early 70's.

If it is a apramount it should be sold to someone who will preserve it, then this fella can use his money to convert something else.

Schwinn World. Pretty sure I've seen that photoset on eBay before.

Troll post. :troll:

Good thing your around tonight! I bet your right about the troll thing. a second look at the photo shows it to be from 2000!

This can be put to bed. that was quick.

It's a 1973 World Voyageur, built by Panasonic for Schwinn. It was the first bike Schwinn imported and they wanted to insulate the brand from from the then stigma of importing from Japan, so they used a "World" headbadge instead of a Schwinn headbadge.

It's a very nice bike. Details from Bob Hufford's SLDB

Kurt's right: troll post.

I want the bars and stem! Look like 36's/

I constantly debate converting my 86 Paramount to a fixed gear. I just havent found any good campy stuff for cheap enough so the bike sits unridden. I would rather ride it than it sit on the stand another few months.
