Too much for a Paramount
 

I'm thinking this is just too much for a Japanese Paramount. http://cgi.ebay.com/1992-Schwinn-Par...d=p3286.c0.m14

Nice looking frame---looks new except for the rust---I don't think its worth 699--My 83 mercian in mint condition sold for 750, I think is a better frame with reynolds 531c---Jim

Looks to be fairly unused from the chainrings and rims and crankarms. no idea what you want to pay...
of course it isn't rusty- Ridgecrest is right next to Death Valley.
Make an offer, maybe you'll win.
Side note- Ridgecrest is an aging population with lots of military, I bet there's a lot of bikes that have been in the garage for decades there...

i paid 250.00 for my OS as a complete bike. they just don't have the cult following. it's a sweet bike, it just doesn't get enough road time. my fault, not its...

I just sold a '91 version of this in original, excellent condition for $250. Probably could have gotten more, but it is my least favorite era for bike styling.

It only takes one sucker, but I think he's dreaming. My 1989 Waterford built Paramount, with a full Waterford restoration, failed to get a bid that high as a complete bike twice on Ebay.

From reading the description, he's just offering the frame and fork for $699.

That's nuts.

That's an ugly fork. Why no sloping fork crown?
Ugh... that kills it for me right there.
And yes, too much, complete or not.

People are clueless what a "Paramount" is back then much less now. I saw you ended up posting that bike on your local craigslist a while back. Had the itch but was not my size. Hope it was sold fairly.
