For Sale: 1974 Schwinn Paramount P-13

     Another great bike in need of a new home. This one is a 1974 Schwinn Paramount P-13 road racing model. It belonged to a friend of the shop who downsized his collection of bikes. It has been re-painted at some point and is missing some decals. The paint color is a bit darker blue than the original Schwinn color. Serial number is E74299 which puts production date at may of 1974, 299th frame and fork that month. This bike was built at the height of the bike boom years and Schwinn was really cranking these out at that point. Frame is built with Reynolds 531 tubing and has the chrome head lugs and chrome "socks" on the fork, fork crown, and rear triangle. Chrome is in great shape. No eyelets on the Campagnolo drop outs or fork tips, standard for this model, straight racing machine.
