I live for the CABE
Just picked this one up tonight. First road bike over ever bought while actually looking for one. Never could hold onto them, but wanted a nice one for my collection and to ride on the country roads where I live. This ones got a neat story. The friend I got it from got it from the son of the original owner. He was a buyer for Schwinn. He traveled the world buying the components used to build the Paramounts. When he retired, this was his gift from the company. Supposedly he hand picked all the components that went on it, although some have been upgraded over the years now. It will be kind of a rolling clean up for me, as I plan to ride it while detailing it out and servicing it. As soon as I saw it, I fell it love. I knew it was going to be mine. Onto the pictures.
At some point I'd like to return it back to stock. To me it looks like only the shifters and rear derailleur have been replaced.
