Subject: [CR]re: Correct Brakes for '64 Paramount

According to an old Wheel Goods Catalog, the correct brakes for a '64 bike would be an engraved version with 2 springs. It is pictured in the 2nd photo here: http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/francopedia/detail?.dir=7c3f&.dnm=4a28.jpg&.src=ph

Note that the '62-64 version used 2 springs, while the pre-'62 version used only 1 spring. After '64, Weinmann stopped engraving their name on the arms and used "Weinman 999" stickers.

One note, Schwinn had a reputation for buying parts in large quantity. So, a Paramount might have older components than its model year.
