Appreciation post: A customer brought in a 1987 Schwinn Paramount last Friday
It was a full original restoration, down to the gumwall tires, and the owner just wanted a safety check. Has anyone else had a perfect bike just roll in like that?
I mean, "full original restoration" is a bit of a tricky term. If it was restored with new old stock parts, it's not really original anymore, it's just really well done. A true survivor with all its factory parts is a different thing. Still, sounds like an awesome bike to see come through the door.
Feel you on that, it's a real treat when something that clean just shows up. Noahclark has a point about the terms, but man, you just gotta appreciate the work. Makes the whole day better.
