Description: vintage, American-made Schwinn Paramount P15-9 bike. The "K7753" serial number establishes this frame as being the 53th frame scheduled during September of 1977 (typically a production time for the following model year, 1978). The Reynolds 531 tubing frame is admirably equipped with a Campagnolo triple crankset and front derailleur, Campagnolo seatpost and hubs, as well as a Cinelli stem and handlebars and rounded out with a Brooks Professional saddle (full specs listed below). The frame and fork are in excellent condition given their age. There are of course a few light scratches and a few tiny nicks, but no dents or anything compromising the steel (see photos). Components also show some markings and signs of wear, and there have been a few updated modern components in the shimano hoods, and the continental gator skin rear tires and 700c Araya rims. Altogether, this is a great chance to own a beautiful Paramount P15-9 Deluxe Touring bike, very well-maintained over the last 50 years! It was my daily rider up till a couple years ago.
