this is a nice piece over 50 years old.
I have two paramounts from early 70s and would love this one but it is too big for me.

> Here I have a Schwinn Paramount that I belive is a 1949/50. The 4 speed is
>a(correct) Sturme Archer. It has the original paint, decals, brakes, bars &
>stem, hubs, and rims. The front wheel has been laced radial style, but can
>easly laced correctly. Some one along the way drilled the bolt holes on the
>crank, and chainring through and is using nuts on the three chainring
>bolts(you can see in one of the pic.). I will not sell to any one who has
>more that two negative feedbacks. The S/H for the continental US is a fixed
>$50.00. Email me for international shipping. This is a 50+ year old bike
>and is sold as is.
