Hey Rbu,

You should consider sending a couple pictures and background information to the Schwinn Paramount Registry. It will be the old Paramount in the listing.

Great job you did on the paramount. I am working on one now. What are the chainring bolts like? What hubs are you using and are they chrome plate steel or aluminum? Thanks

Cant wait to hear more about your project. My crank is Schwinn Paramount and the crank bolts bolt from the inside. The wheels were found with the bike. They look paired. The writing on the front hub is very small script ( I'm going to need my loupes for this one) I was able to make out 'made in france'. The rear hub is medium flange and the front is small flange. I am guessing that these are not original but I could be wrong. The rims are wooden but I see no label. Good luck!

I normally don't get into light weight bikes but I have to say I love the way this one turned out, the chrome really pops. Has a good story and obviously a good owner too great job!
