Finally riding a big boys bike
Ok - a guy at work whom knows I'm into bikes brought me in an old " racing bike" his next door lady friend was gonna throw away - I know it's schwinn, and the serial number looks to be from 1963 ? If I read that right - I can't find any head tube markings or other stamping to indicate that it's a later giant made bike - could it be a paramount ? I know the gt100 derailer is a shimano made , and introduced later (1970's) and belongs on the japan bikes, so I assume this is Japanese made ?
Looks like someone sanded to the metal and primed and painted it - but I think the yellow in the serial numbers might be the orig color ? Which is not at all consistant with a 1963 bike - the previous owner was obviously trying to make it look like a trek , with the bontrager tires, bar wrap, the trek decals I peeled off, ect .... LOL
