£25 !!! 1992 Schwinn Paramount SDG series frameset - Collect

[Rod_Saetan]

Really rather lovely 92 Schwinn Paramount series 70 PDG frameset comprising silver brazed and lugged Tange Prestige main frame (made in Japan) and Tange oversized ultralight fork. Frame paint is in good condition on the whole except for the top tube which has a lot of scarring and a couple of deeper scratches, there is a small (1mm) ding in the top of the down tube too and some other marks - plenty of picture blow indicating condition. I have seen a lot of higher end steel MTB framesets and this is among the lighter ones, I would say it is on a par to the MB zip/getting close to a P series (will update thread with weight when I find the bit of paper I wrote it on!). Schwinn contracted the frames out to Waterford who built these in Japan using the same construction methods as the US built custom/semi-custom bikes they sold.

Top tube = 22" centre to centre
Seat tube = 18.5" centre to top
27.0 seat post
1 1/8" head tube

Looks similar to my 1993 Paramount Team, Frame Number N3F0003

Rod, you made us curious about the weight...

Re: 1992 Schwinn Paramount SDG series frameset - Waterford built

Frame without forks is 1,8Kg I guess, as it's the same size and Prestige tubing as my Paramount Team

Afaik, the Team frame is full Prestige tubing and the lower spec Series 70 and RS60 are Prestige three main tubes, with tapered 4130 cr-mo stays. I was curious about the difference in weight.

OK, then I'd guess 2Kg for the Series 70

Frame only: 2.13 KG, frame and fork: 2.90 KG. Seems like my hand scale guesstimates aren't calibrated correctly.

Also, I'll take £75 posted in the UK.

Thanks Rod, just what I was saying, nothing beats a good ol' calibrated scale!

GLWS! ÎCheers!
