Completely agree !!! It’s makes the front end feel So Heavy !!! I’m taking them off and putting Campy shifters . I ride my bikes and I hate the steering feel of this Red Paramount !
The Red ladies paramount has a SR stem and nothing special bars. This bike is all orginial and if you are building it up to ride ? Get rid of the stem shifters and put Campy shifters on the down tube . The other set of bars are off my Chrome bike, they are the same bars that are on one of our...
My Poser / Salt ride ! Super Bowl Sunday ride on salted roads. The saddle / KKT pedals/chainring and badge are worth more than the bike….. but it is geared perfect.
My husband worked for Rudy Schwinn and Frank B in the early 80's , in engineering. The engineering offices and the plants were in full production in Chicago.
Here you go King Sting riders , here is the Build sheets from Schwinn for the 5 speed KS. Plus the testing of the prototype …, I need to attach the test results with mongoose and other cruise frames running Fatigue testing .
Yep ! I am leaving the Bike license on my Paramount , old adhesive and brittle sticker will destory the Paramount decal underneath.
It's my regular ride ..
Thanks everone for the help
I have a Brooks Pro saddle that the leather cracked in half and needs a new leather saddle installed. I went the internet and there are lots of places to send in the saddle for rail repairs but not many for leather replacement . Plus is it not worth the cost and should I just buy a new pro ...
Hmmm....Ned Overland/Richey worked with Schwinn on the Paramountain but the Schwinn exces built the Sidewider , Sierra .... Schwinn really did not want to build a mountain bike.
Nice Ladies paramount ! I have two one in chrome and one in red that are not that new (1980) but very similar in parts and components.
If you need more information on your 1980 Ladies Paramount just ask Waterford .

Nice twenty....wish I could have sold the one we had to a CABER it was in great shape just needed cleaning . Sold it to a power boater for $60 to use on his boat trips.
agree ! My spouse worked in many Schwinn shops and at Schwinn (engineer) ..he confirmed frames are the same... the filing around the welds might make them look different.....
I would like to see what happens to those bikes once they get to Mexico. We might all be surprized by the new life those old bikes get...at least they are not going to the scrap yard. I have seen some pretty cool Schwinn and pre war retro cycles in Mexico City . My hope is that is want is...
