I usually don’t post on the what’d you get thread, but I’m pretty excited about this one.
I know, you’re thinking, a road bike!
But this little gem caught my eye on the Chicago Craigslist.
It’s interesting in that it has the chrome lugs and stays that you would expect to see on the late 60’s/70’s bikes, but it still has the early 1st generation decal kit.
The serial number puts it right around the middle of 1960, so it must have been in the last batch of bikes produced that were still using the old trim scheme.
It’s had some equipment modifications over the years, so my plan, is to carefully bring it back to a 1959/60 component group.
1960 was a very good year, because that’s when the first Campy Gruppo was introduced, and that was the year I was born.
So, this sweet little 1960 Schwinn Paramount has decided to retire out in California for awhile.
Oh, yeah!
Thank’s Frank, for bringing the Paramount back in house.
Much appreciated!
