Thank you all for the insight! I ended up finding a 58cm '92 Schwinn Paramount PDG3 that was in great condition with new tires and cables for $180 (I know it's the Japanese manufactured one but from what I've read it's still a good bike). The fit feels pretty good (in my non-expert opinion) and after cleaning it up a bit it looks great- the paint and stickers are all well preserved and I have yet to find any problems with it after some test rides and disassembling it a bit to clean more thoroughly. I'm thinking the first thing I'm going to try and find is a saddle that fits me well, and then go on to other hardware upgrades from there. My buddy who is very into cycling is coming over in a couple days to help me tune it and fix any issues he sees, as well as putting some of the more complicated mechanical parts into my ultrasonic cleaner. If you guys have any comments or suggestions I'd love to hear them. I would post a photo but apparently I don't have enough posts to do so yet.
