Schwinn Paramount identification
Hello all, I'm looking at buying what I think is a PDG Series Schwinn Paramount frame for $150. Long story short, a friend of mine bought this frame and is getting a complete for Christmas instead and is willing to sell it to me for what he bought it for. I assumed the original owner was telling the truth (I trust him) when he said it was a paramount, and it's fairly light and well constructed, with integrated brake lines, but I'd still like to find out specifically the model and year. I couldn't figure it out based on this site: http://www.waterfordbikes.com/site/c...ara_series.php
There are no decals on the bike and it's a flat black color, but the paint job seems to be very well done, there are spots where the paint has worn through to the steel, but I can't see any sign of a different color paint job underneath the black. The serial number is only seven digits so from what I've found out on this forum and Waterford's site, that means it is a PDG Series, but I'm still not positive. The serial number begins with "OK," the rear dropout says Tange TR, and the bottom bracket has a "9" on it. Anything that anyone could tell me about this bike from the info given would be a huge help. The frame has a nice set of brake levers, handlebars and grip, stem. All together the parts would cost about 100 dollars brand new, from what I have gathered on the internet, so I think the frame is worth 150 with these parts, no matter what Series Paramount it is. Thanks for any help at all! |
I would repost this in classic and vintage. There are teltale signs of a genuine Paramount, but I can't remember them as I sold mine about 14 years ago.
