Hey gang!
So, if you were to outfit a chrome '73 Schwinn Paramount with a set of fenders and a rear rack, what would you choose?
I have an old Blackburn that could work for the rack, but do they go back that far, time-wise? Should I care? I don't know. Of course, as was mentioned in a recent thread, there's the Pletscher... and I have one of those too. But it just looks, pardon me, cheap for a Paramount.
How about fenders? Among currently available ones, it seems like silver SKS would be closest to the "right look". Or should I try to find something old, maybe some NOS Bleumels? Or am I crazy?
I did score a NOS Scwhinn saddlebag not too long ago, but the danged thing rubs the tire when going over bumps, so I need something to prevent that. And I'm a fan of fenders, since I don't mind riding in the rain, as long as I have fenders.
Thoughts?
