1973 Schwinn Paramount Road Racer(P13-9)

[baldnlean]

Time for a change, but what is it worth as I intend to put it up for sale. I bought it new when I thought of getting into racing. That didn't happen. The bike is in excellent condition. When not in use, it hangs in my basement. 25" frame/ tubular tires/ Mavic rims/ all Campy gear/ all original equipment/ only the freewheel has been changed. I even have the original pouch of tools that came w/ the bike. Pics available via e-mail. Appreciate your input.

Ebay will tell you the market value. Worth about $350 to me.

FWIW, a couple of similar bikes on EBAY. Yours is a 25" frame so it will hurt value a bit. Wouldn't be surprised if somebody buys it just to get the campy group. Good luck

There is a pretty nice group of people over here too:

including a classifieds section. They can probably help with value and probably find a good buyer there too.

i would use ebay as a last resort.

Is this it?

I would value it at $1200 to $1500 or so.

Best,

Paramounts seem to have a following and they fetch pretty good prices. I'd guess $750 average but it could easily go $250 either way.

2k for a Paramount in MSU land?? Nope..

It's a nice bike and all that but not 2K nice.

$500 deduction for foam grips.

Bob H is one of the moderators over at the Schwinn forum and has confirmed my opinion of the moderators and members of that site. Nice to see you over here Bob. Assuming it's the craigslist bike, I would put the value at least at $1k and probably higher - that is, Bob's estimate is probably pretty accurate. The frame looks to be in excellent condition and I would put the components, wheels and tools, especially the Campagnolo, at not too far from that price if sold separately. Those Cinelli bars are sought after too.
