Chicago Schwinn Paramount dating? |
My dad has given me his Chicago Schwinn Paramount track bike and I am working on restoring it. My dad says he is not sure about the year but he thinks it is a '72. I have the serial number. Is there anyway I can properly date it? Those old Paramounts rock!!! While I agree with the last answer, if they tell you that they can't verify it- which I highly doubt they'll say- but if they do, contact Waterford Bikes. The old Paramount people now run Waterford. Yuo could probably send them a pic with a pic of the serial number. Lots of times, builders can tell you that just by looking at them and Paramount is no exception. They were a completely different division of Schwinn that did their own thing. Paramount to Schwinn was like Mugen is today to Honda or AMG to Mercedes. They know their builds. Contact a Schwinn dealer or factory with frame number, they should be able to give you more details |

It appears to have a convertible head. Most likely what you will need to do is, unscrew the cap, pull out the rubber piece, and inner head adapter. If it is like most other convertible heads, turn ... eastern grim reaper...kinda heavy but..worth it! or maybe you want something lighter.....dno ...Sorry, those are the best places to look. You'll need to keep looking for what you want. I simply isn't like shopping for a new bike where size and color are readily available. ...Either you have a very old Schwinn with a 7/8" steerer or you are explaining wrong. I think the latter is the case. If you are measuring inside the steerer for a stem measurement you need a... somewhat better parts on the Mesa ...It's difficult to answer this one as we don't know how your dad might ride it (cruising around neighborhood, bike path, a little offroad, road). Huffy and Schwinn have made some wonder... Go to Kelley Blue Book.com and look it up, for yourself. It'd take you just as much time as it would take us. As far as the bike, maybe $50. ...Are we sure that's not a cross-frame? It kinda looks like it. That is what you'll probably need for 27 inch wheels, but for 25 bucks you can always try it. It says it comes with wheels... |
