Apologies if I posted this before. It looks familiar, but I can't quite place it, and searching for old posts is not worth the time....

Schwinn Paramount, Tulsa-ish, $500
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace...7-8768b7852af1
This is a super-secret Paramount listing for "Schwinn Bikes," with a featured picture of a mountain bike and very bad pics of both.
One of y'all may be able to identify the model. Early 70s. Looks like a Campagnolo drivetrain, but replacement levers and center pull brakes?

I saw that and it's not a Comp, it's a Super Competition with a complete 531 F&F!
My Competition only has a 531 frame. But then Mr. Google says it's 3 hrs and 45 minutes drive. Looks my size to.....!🙄

Over the years there have been a number of Bike Forums threads speculating about what the "Raleigh 555SL" tubing (and variants) that was labeled as such on Raleigh USA bikes might really be, with some arguing that it was Reynolds 531 that had been relabeled for some murky reason. You'd think that the presence of the Grand Prix in the lineup would have put that hypothesis to rest, but it didn't.
