I'm the Wiz, and nobody beats me!
Ahh!
Did that black 59 come from So.Cal?
I had my eye on that one. She's a real beauty.
The red 60 looks a lot like my blue 60.
I also have a bike shop decal in the same spot on the frame.

That would be a trip if your bike came from the same shop.
I've got the original sales receipt for that bike.
It cost $165.00 when it sold in February of 1961.
I had a provenance report done by Richard Schwinn, and he said their records show that the frame was made in January 1960 and went to paint in February. So the bike sold at retail about a year later from the time it was built.

Here are my last two 'to sell' Paramounts (the 1971 P-15 recently sold, the 1977 P-10 is on eBay now), followed by my line-up of my last three Paramount projects (that I do not intend to sell
a 1950-ish track Paramount with keyhole lugs, a 1957-ish Road/Time Trial Paramount with Nervex Serie Legere lugs, and a 1959 Deluxe Road Paramount with Nervex Pro lugs. This will someday be my stable of Paramounts, with a 1938 Superior Club Sports to add to the mix. (other long-gone Paramounts are on my Flickr page: https://www.flickr.com/photos/51061132@N08/collections/72157632847276365/

1939 build with a 3 speed cyclo conversion kit. I have the dated repair receipt for the installation of the kit so I can narrow down the build date. Early ball end stays. Rarer grey color. I narrowly saved this one from being stripped down and repainted.
