Vintage 1998 Schwinn Paramount Road Bike Shimano Dura Ace 60th

For Schwinn this bike was the 100 year anniversary and paramount branding 60th. We had to make something special. This was it. 853 oversized and special 952 stays bent to improve stiffness and compliance. This frame was made at Match cycles in California. Match assembled a very special group of frame builders just for this project. It was at the time the finest group of builders ever assembled for one project. This was the highest level of trim for the steel bike. The only higher spec was the Serotta built Ti frame. "Tim Isaac owned Match Cycles, and employed some of the greatest frame makers in the business including Kirk Pacenti, Steve Hampsten, Curt Goodrich, Mark Bulgier, Brian McCarthy, Rick Ghneme, Alistair Spence, Martin Tweedy and Dan Swanson."
I always wanted one of these and now I have! It did not disappoint! Ok so all things must end and I have decided to sell my sweet ride. I have too many bikes.
Keep in mind this bike has been used, but not abused or crashed. It could use some new bar tape. The saddle has not been used much lately since I wanted to keep it good as I received it. Also the paint chips are many as the photos show (yeah the original owner did some paint dings). I have heard that nail polish is the best touch up? If you win the auction I will send it out as soon as I can in a fresh bike bike box. Or if you are local we can arrange a meet up.
