I too, was unexpectedly bitten by the lightweight Schwinn bug.
Here is my 1938/39 Schwinn Paramount, Sports Tourist model.
These type of bikes are very enjoyable to ride.
I had planned to build the 38/39 Superior mate to this bike, but discovered a project deflating crack in the frame.
So that project has now been scraped, so I picked up a 46/47 Continental project last week.
Now, I’m excited to build that one up.
I know, I’ve got my work cut out for me, but $200 shipped just seemed to good to pass up.
Usually I know better than to get into a money pit like this, but there’s just something about the allure of an ice blue Schwinn lightweight, that I couldn’t resist.
The green and blue are 52s, the violet one is a 55. I have never seen another schwinn bike with that opal green color, although there was a fork on eBay at one point.
