What puzzles me is that only about 1 % of the time is there discussions on these beautiful symmetrical bikes. Most discussions are about these old bikes that I have never heard of. Usually from the 1930's to the 1960's. It is if a lot of members are in their 80's and 90's. I wish there were more...

A while back I bought a pair of Campagnolo pedals. They were on E-Bay and looked almost new. I bought them and was going to put them on my !974 Schwinn Paramount P-13-9 bike, the ones on the bike were nice but these were nicer. But when I started to screw then on the first two turns were nice...

I bought a 1973 Schwinn Paramount P-13-9 several months ago. It is in very nice shape (must have not been ridden much) It was all original except for the 5 speed freewheel, it was Japanese. The original should be Regina 14-24 tooth cogs. I bought a new Regina chain which has 116 links, when I...

All three of my bikes have old rock-hard brake pads. The 1974 Schwinn Paramount has Campy pads and the 1962 Continental and 1978 Superior have pads for Weimann center pull brakes. My question is are the new pads softer, or semi hard when new. Can NOS Campy pads from years ago still be good, if...

Can 1970 Schwinn Paramounts P-13 bikes take rear Campagnolo hubs with either 120 mm width or 126 mm width or are the drop offs on the seat and chain stays different widths. The one on my bike is 120 mm and would a rear campy hub of 126 mm be too wide. Thanks John.

I bought a Schwinn Paramount P-13-9 Bike recently. The blue color paint and the chrome are in very nice shape. It has some things to replace like Brooks Professional saddle and the rear Campagnolo Nuovo record derailleur is a little worn. I have NOS Brooks Pro saddle and NOS Campy deRailleur...

Does any member know how to polish the Campy cranks. this crank is in very nice condition, but has some tiny scuffs. I have seen on you-Tube videos these guys polish up these cranks beautifully, but they do not show how they do it. I used Simichrome polish and vigorously rubbed it in, but no...

I have a very nice Campagnolo super record crank set. I know they usually went on high end bikes ( Like Paramounts with Reynolds 531 tubing.) But could they be used on a nice bike with Chrome moly tubing. Are the threads and measurements the same. What bottom bracket set would I need. Will Campy...

Does any member ever hear of site Pink bikes. I saw a bike for sale on site, but you have to sign up to message seller. It is a 1962 Schwinn Superior in blue and from pictures it looks real nice. I tried to register (they keep saying (pre register) when I try to log in. And there does not seem...

I am selling my 1982 Schwinn Voyager 11.8 bike in restored condition. It looks new. A guy came yesterday to buy it. He loved it. When he paid me and then took it outside to ride it home the crank and rear wheel would be very hard to rotate. When I saw him having trouble I went outside and we...

I am selling my front and rear Campy hubs they are in great shape. A guy called and asked if I had hubs for track bike and if these can be used for track bike. Is it possible to use the rear (they are for 5 speed freewheel) by just using one of the 5 gears? I have no idea. John.

I should not have screwed the 5 speed Regina freewheel to the Campy hub that was not laced to a rim. I can get the correct tool, but since it is not on a wheel will it be possible to hold the other end of the hub while using wrench on the removal tool. I hope there is a way, otherwise the hub...

I bought a 1978 Schwinn Superior bike about 2 months ago. It was a display model an the seller had it for a long time and never rode it. It is in excellent condition, you can see that it has never been ridden. My question is if I start to ride it does the crank need to be greased with new...

I can buy 27 X 1 inch tires for my Schwinn Superior (it has the original 27 X 1 inch Schwinn super record tires on) which I am not going to ride on. But I cannot locate any tubes for these tires. All I see is 27 X 1 1/8 or 27 X 1 1/4 inch tubes. If they still sell 27 X 1inch tires you would...

I bought a 1978 Schwinn Superior bike in Sky Blue. It was a display model that was never ridden. and when I received it you could tell it was new. But the 27 X 1 1/8 inch Schwinn Super record tires if original are 40 + years old. They do look nice, but that can be deceiving. Any way the guy who...

I just bought a 1978 Schwinn Superior that was a display model, it is in mint condition. It has the sun tour rear derailleur. I bought a Campy Gran Turismo rear derailleur that is in almost new condition. I have seen it mounted on a Schwinn Paramount using the top spring bolt, but have seen many...

I bought a 1962 Schwinn Continental about 6 years ago. It is in very nice condition, very few nicks in the paint. Almost everything is in great shape. But I was wondering about the handle bar tape. In the 1962 Catalog it shows the Superior and Continental bikes with white tape. Mine has...
