Introducing the Classic 1972 Schwinn Paramount P13!
This vintage gem is built on a 23" frame (center to top, in inches), and measures approx 57cm ctc on the seat tube and 56cm ctc on the top tube. It was meticulously crafted in the heart of Chicago using Reynolds 531 tubing, Nervex Professional lugs, and Campagnolo dropouts. The serial number indicates this frame is from November 1972.
In remarkably good condition, this beauty boasts just one tiny ding on the drive side of the top tube (see photos for proof). The chrome, despite its age, still shines with grace, with only mild wear. The only noticeable corrosion resides around the bottom bracket connection to the chain stays, easily curable with a bit of TLC. Check out the pictures for a closer look. Those iconic decals are still proudly intact, showing some light rubs, but they've weathered the years quite well. The head badge? It's pristine.
Now, let's talk components. This bicycle is decked out with Campagnolo excellence, featuring mostly Nuovo Record components for the headset, seatpost, brakes, brake and shift levers, derailleurs, and crankset. The wheels, Phil Wood hubs laced to Mavic Open 4 CD 700c rims, ensure a smooth and stylish ride. You'll be gripping Cinelli stem and bars for ultimate control.
Rest assured, this bicycle is not just a looker but a performer. All components are mechanically sound and in excellent condition, ready to hit the road once more.
