For Paramounts the serial numbers are the key to identity and are different than normal Schwinn numbers. My 1974 P-10 has a serial number of A74149 which means it is a January 1974 with the frame being the 149th built that month. Earlier bikes used a different system. Roger

just to complete the picture there was quite a bit more campy stuff and 2 brooks saddles and different bar wraps and bits. I am feeling very blessed today. Also been a long time lurker of this board and appreciate the wealth of info it has supplied me!

Yes, apparently the OP feels "blessed" enough to flip these.

Well last time I checked we lived in America and practice capitalism. Since the frames are not my size I will sell them along, college is expensive and I need to purchase and engagement ring. Yes i certainly feel blessed to have the opportunity to make some money! Anyway don't want to start off on the wrong foot here and offend anyone, just felt the need to explain why I don't feel bad for buying low and selling high, its the american way.

Going to be a hater, and say that this dude wasn't a lurker. Did ten minutes of google search, found BF, decides to play the role. Best of luck with your sale.
