Tom - that "silver mist" is my favorite Schwinn color of the era. About 1970, there was one like that at a shop in East Providence, RI. The paint and primer were so thin that you could read "butted" on the left fork blade! Darn, did I want that bike!

I have the following for sale should any members be interested: a 1974 Schwinn Paramount, 24 inches, center to top on the seattube, 23 inches center to center on the toptube, Reynolds 531, chrome Nervex lugs, NR headset and triple bottom bracket, Campagnolo drop-outs with eyelets. This is the touring model. Overall it is in good condition; the chrome is in very good to excellent condition; the decals are good, except for the "S" in Schwinn and the "t" in Paramount on the one side of the downtube. The reynolds decal is in very good condition. The sale includes seatpost binder bolt and brake hanger, a campagnolo downtube derailleur guide, and wheel adjuster screws. There are numerous scrapes and small chips on the paint, though it does not need a repaint, and the chrome redeems a lot of the paint. The color is gray or silver.
$310 plus Fed-Ex, probably $25 to $60 depending upon how far you are from 44023.
