Orange Schwinn Paramount Track bike I believe from either the late 70′s or early 80′s. A good friend gave this bike to me after he retired from the racing scene in Flushing NY.

Melvin, the Prugnat lugs date it to anywhere between and 1967 and 1970/71. If you provide the serial # on the left dropout, I can get you an exact month/year fix on it.

Yeah that’s definitely not 80′s. Cool but where’s the profile shot?

God I love paramounts. I wish I could get my hands on one, especially a freaking vintage one! I would love to race around the track on one of these.

This bike looks neglected. Such a beauty should have a fresh chain, and the only photo should be an orange blur. Love her proper for me man. Did I say I like it?

Love love love love the frame and fork- would take it off your hands in a sec as it’s been on my wish list for a while, especially in that color. Wawawiwa!

It looks like the serial number is b907. I hope you can find the date ’cause I’m curious about the age. It still rides great even though I don’t have a lot of time to take it out.

The velodrome in Flushing is really nice. It’s been fixed up and is very well maintained.

Thanks for the comments,
