Fresh barn find for the*Roadies*

[tuga]

This was literally out of a hot texas barn right after Christmas, looks to be a 1966 P13 Schwinn Paramount with some non original parts like the seatpost, stem, mavic clincher hoops, mafac brake levers and calipers.

Great find. Drool.
Are you sure the Mafic's aren't stock I kind of remember hearing from someone that those were an option? Matt

I agree with Matt. From what I understand about the Paramounts is that they were pretty much custom built for each customer so whoever ordered it could get which ever parts they wanted on it. That bike may be 100% original.

You guys might be right, bike came from the original owner and he said that the bike was how he got it from the bike shop except for the missing campy seatpost, brooks,

bars and tubulars that were on another "custom" bike he had, which also came home with me

The other one was a "custom" made frame, guy didn't remember who made it. it was reynolds with bocama lugs on it but in very poor shape all rusty and crusty.

Well since you don't know who made it you will just have to send it to me so I can identify it for you. Oh yeah don't forget to throw the paramount in the box too. Matt

$226 for a bike in 1966? That's the same as a down payment on a house back then. The guys over at OTSG would love to see that bike.

Too bad it's too expensive for me. :lol:

I'll have to be happy with the Sports Tourer I picked up this fall.

Looks like this one would even fit me! :wink:

Any close up pics of the Campy stuff? Crank, ,Derailleur, are the hubs Campy?

Great looking bike looks like it will clean up nicely.
