1974 Schwinn Paramount

PROJECT IN PROGRESS

Scored this lovely, lovely thing off ebay.  Still deciding how to build it up, but may start with a track-style rig just so I can ride it while I acquire the 70s Super Record stuff.

Tubes are Reynolds 531, their top alloy at the time.  Dropouts are Campagnolo front & rear.  Headset is Campy Record.

Reynolds decals are usually pretty cool, but this one is my favorite.  Ok maybe it's a tie with the 6-4 Titanium one on my Moots SL.

Haven't decided on rims yet, but these are the hubs.  Period-correct thread-on freewheel Record units, 32-hole.  Beautiful.
