Pix of my 1940's(1947?) Schwinn Paramount #P170,are posted on "The Fixed Gear Gallery". The incomplete frame was obtained in a trade from list member Dave Toppin,the NOS front hub and Persons saddle from list member Hank Cunningham,new decals from Waterford, perfect match touch up paint from Duplicolor GM Blue,Webb pedals. Since I'm running 700 tubulars(the rear hub was laced to a nice Olmenchuk rim) I was "forced" into using Campy short reach brakes. The original track frame had been modified by the original owners brother(after she quit racing) by adding Cyclo style rear dropouts and cable guides and pump pegs like a tourer of the time. Kind of a hodgepodge but fun to get back on the road and a blast to ride. Art Link,San Antonio,TX,USA
