Stunning Schwinn Paramount . . a Coppertone Tourist !

[Eric Amlie]

My #N27 1963 track bike did not have the Disneyland script decals, so maybe it ended in 1962?

You may be right.
With a quick search I didn't find anything definitive, but I did find this:

Schwinn Paramount P13 Deluxe 1963

This Schwinn Paramount dates to approximately the fall of 1963. In 1962 Schwinn offered only the P11, P12, and P14. 1963 marked the first y...

The wording still leaves me a bit confused as to whether the Disneyland font continued into '63 though.

Edit: The Weinmann red button quick release brake levers make me think that this late year bike was actually intended as a '64 model.

I agree that the wording could be read both ways. I does not look like this 1963 P13 had the Disney decal.

This mid year '63 model just showed up on Ebay showing that by about July '63(probably earlier) the Disneyland decals were gone.

The J represents the month September as the I was not used . The next number represents the year 1967 for 7 and 39 represents the 39th frame built as best I can tell from the database .

Agreed with this; I have a March 1966 Paramount....crankset is Campy NR 144 BCD so not exactly correct

 

[Theodore]

The Campy derailleur may have a year stamp on it.

Year stamp started in 1970. Nuovo Record 1969 and earlier did not have the year stamp
