I must concur. I worked at Parkwest Schwinn in Chicago as a youngster in 73 and 74; building, servicing and selling Paramounts and other models. Since Chicago was the Schwinn hometown you might expect I would have seen Schwinn labeled rims on Paramounts. I have no recollection of anything but Mavic, and Fiamme red labels (we may have laced those up ourselves by request). Any Schwinn re-labeled parts were mostly on lesser model bikes we unpacked and assembled.
