If so, I hope it was only for about $200 max. The bike was all changed and
would cost way too much to bring back at the BIN price. Caveat Emptor!

>> Not my item. I have one of these already--see it on Wool Jersey. This
>> is a late 30's Schwinn Superior track bike (lugless, fillet-brazed
>> construction). Serial number is only 10 newer than mine and I have proof
>> that mine is mid-'38. Seller is advertising it as 50's vintage. Missing
>> seat post (26.2mm) and seat, otherwise complete with original paint and
>> decals. Pedals look original but appears that quill ends were cut off.
>> Has Schwinn Paramount adjustable stem. Looks like front fork is drilled
>> for brake. Has rear caliper mounted on stays. Not sure about hubs--they
>> are nice large flange (Harvey Sachs says they're not Paramount). Has
>> steel rims (should be wooden). Has proper Superior cranks and Paramount
>> chainring (although it's been painted black and is 1/2" pitch). New
>> decals are available from Waterford. Only a 3-day listing with a very
>> attractive Buy-it-now price.
