I bought the frame - #T30 - some time ago and finally completed the build 6 months ago. The chrome is excellent in most places (see photos), but there is a very small dent in the top tube that occurred sometime during the build. The depth is almost undetectable. The length is 3-4mm. Recently, I showed the bike at a swap meet and no one mentioned or noticed the dent. It is hard to photo, but I did my best in the last two photos above. I built the frame up with extremely fine period-correct parts. Ed Litton of Litton Cycles redid the lug lining and put on the correct set of decals. Schwinn Paramount mavens will recognize the parts as generic to this time period for Paramounts. All the cabling is new and all the key parts were disassembled and lubed and brought to spec by renowned vintage bike specialist - Shelly Cohen. I measure the frame to be 55cm square with a 32" standover. Stem is 90mm and bar is 40cm. Cranks are 170mm. What more can I say? This is historic bike made at the time when Schwinn was making as fine a bike as any in the world. I have tried to build it up as it might have been when it left the hands of the Schwinn crew in Chicago in 1964 the year I graduated high school. Buy this bike and recreate the thrill of owning a unique piece of American bike history. Please ignore the Pricetronic shipping estimate as these are usually very inaccurate. I use BikeFlights/UPS and estimate the cost as $150-$175 with insurance for CONUS shipments. Let me know what other info you might want.
