Wrong.

It anything it more closely matches my '89 Tempo ot '88 SS. The Peleton had a crowned fork. The blades very clearly slip into a lug and the Peleton is a Panasonic built frame so it has its serial number stamped into the lower head lug.

Alot of the features clearly point to it being a Schwinn. It has dropouts that are identical to my old Peleton, Tempo, SS and Paramount. The 'wraped' seatstay caps are identicle to the Peleton, SS and Tempo as well.

As a reference, my '87 SS has identicle frame features with a I623651 serial number on the BB.

It's not a 1988. '86 or '87 maybe.

it doesn't quite match my Tempo, the fork is different and it has 3 cable guides on the top tube. Also, look at this guys feedback, in the past couple months, he has sold about a dozen bikes "for a friend" that all seem sort of pieced together

Yeah, and it has a serious fork rake. Could be a number of different models but I think we can establish it's a fake Paramount. Still looks like a sweet ride.

Was teasing you re/the Rossin thread.

Looks like I did open my mouth too quick though - it is not a lugged crown. Feel free to take your potshots in response - I deserve it this time :o
