1991 Schwinn Paramount (Waterford) Value
Any estimates on this Waterford build 57cm Paramount? It has a full Dura Ace 7400 group with STI shifters.

$600 to $750 tops. Local sale depends on strength of your market. In my area, it would be at the low end of that range. Typical value of parts exceed value of the complete bike.

Thanks. That’s what I thought. I put $750 in to it and had a lot of fun building and riding. A guy took it for a test ride this morning and is coming back with $750. Just wanted to make sure no one was getting ripped off!

Ha. What I wrote did sound a little naive. There were two happy parties to this transaction.
