Not mine, sad to say, but I walked out of a store a few years ago, and saw a guy swinging his leg over a Paramount. This was before I had gotten into classic bikes as a serious hobby, but of course I knew what a Paramount was. In my memory the bike was purple. Was that a Schwinn color? I said "Nice bike." He said "Thanks, let me show you the best part." He rotated the bike up on its rear wheel to show me a sticker on the underside of the seat. The sticker said $25. The guy said he had just bought the bike at a garage sale. He was very pleased with himself.

Best regards,
