Schwinn is now celebrating its 75th anniversary and it doesn’t seem a day over 50! The company is marking this occasion with the release of its Paramount model with a limited edition, U.S.-made, steel road frame made at the former Schwinn-owned Paramount factory. Each of these will feature limited-edition 75th anniversary lugs, while options will include internal or Di2 routing, decaling and paint options. Paramounts will be available in three frame level options: the Paramount Air, Paramount front/stainless rear, and Paramount full stainless.
Only 25 of these custom frames will be made, and retail prices will start at $4,175 for the frame and fork. In addition, those lucky customers who buy one of the 25 frames will be invited to visit Waterford Precision Cycles for an in-person fitting. The Waterford factory was once Schwinn’s Paramount factory and was managed by Marc Muller, who bought the factory with Richard Schwinn soon after Schwinn Bicycle went bankrupt in the 1990s.
