He also sent me these pictures. So somebody tried really hard to clone a Schwinn? Probably to make it look more like a Paramount because that's what I originally thought it was till I got a better picture.

My friend bought this bike and it's proving hard to ID,it has Schwinn parts but Raleigh grips and gibberish serial numbers. Any ideas as to the make of the frame?

I might take you up on that offer,I'll have too see what goes on between now and then. Thankyou!

Here's some before pictures of my bikes and a newer shot of the krate after some more cleanup.
