I looked at the Schwinn "databook" website:
http://www.geocities.com/sldatabook/prologue.html
It indicates the "short-coupled" or "sprint-type" frame was available as a
Paramount option for the P13 from 1975 to 1978. The "Sprint" model is quite
a different bike; like a Varsity. The Ebay bike is obviously a Paramount.
The story about the brake and front der is a bit bizarre, though. Why would
you remove them (and leave both chainwheels)? And the seller says he never
installed them!!??
