1938 Schwinn Paramount Track Vintage - $1500 (berkeley)

-
My fully equipped carbon Trek weighs 14lbs.
But, for 1938, a 20lb Paramount was considered pretty light.
 
That is amazing, especially, since for the most part, the material being used was all steel.
Steel is real!
Carbon Fiber= Fake Bike!
Just kidding, the Carbon bikes took over the industry like wild fire, but it is interesting, that they could build a bike just as light clear back at the advent of the bicycle.
