Model P13-9 (Men's). Six frame sizes, made to measure frames at extra cost. Chrome tipped fork and stays. Round head badge. Professional Road Racing Paramount: 10 speed, 51 to 100 gear range. Alloy cotterless crank set (49/52). 14-16-18-23-26 freewheel cluster. Selection of custom equipment. Available in all Schwinn colors including chrome. $350.00.
  • FRAME COMPONENTS: All frame components are manufactured from Reynolds 531 double butted tubing. The decal on the seat mast which reads "Guaranteed built with Reynolds 531 butted tubes, forks, and stays," makes these three important points:


    1. The entire frame is manufactured from Reynolds 531 butted tubing.
    2. Butted tubes are manufactured in such a way that at the points of greatest stress (near the brazed joints), the guage of the tubing is thickened without, however, increasing the outside diameter. Double butted tubing therefore, is able to combine the ultimate in lightness with the ultimate in strength.
    3. "531" tubing is unaffected by the temperatures required in the hand brazing operation. The tubing therefore retains all of its original strength at the greatest points of stress.

    Additionally, all joints are further reinforced with Nervex Professional cut lugs. The rear stays are equipped with Campagnolo rear fork ends.

    All frame components are hand assembled.

  • FRAME SPECIFICATIONS: The P13 Paramount is available in seven frame sizes ranging from 20" to 26" (frame sizes are measured from the center of the crank hangar to the top of the seat mast). The head and seat mast are parallel with each other and form a 73-deg. angle with the wheelbase center line.
  • FRAME TRIM: Chrome trim on the head lugs, fork crown, six inches of chrome trim on the rear fork and stays and the front fork.
  • FORK: The fork is manufactured from Reynolds 531 butted tubing which again, combines the best in lightness with the best in strength and resiliency. The fork has a 2" rake and is equipped with Campagnolo Gran Sport fork tips.
  • WHEELS: Assembled with Weinmann aluminum alloy rims on Campagnolo Record large flange road hubs. The spokes are .080-.060 gauge and are chrome plated. The hubs are equipped with a quick release machanism allowing the wheels to be removed without the use of tools.
  • TIRES: Standard equipment tires are Clementi No. 50 sew-up tires.
  • HANDLEBAR: Cinelli aluminum alloy drop style handlebars with Maes style road racing bend.
  • CRANK SET: The P13 Paramount is equipped with a double plateau Campagnolo Nouvo Record crank set. This crank is a three-piece aluminum alloy crank set with 170MM (6-3/4") crank arms. The chainwheels are of aluminum alloy also and have 49 and 52 teeth.
  • PEDALS: Campagnolo pedals with Christophe toe clips and Alfredo Binda toe straps.
  • SADDLE: Brooks Professional all-leather saddle. All leather saddles used on Paramount models are "broken-in" at the Schwinn factory.
  • DERAILLEURS AND FREEWHEEL: Campagnolo Nouvo Record rear derailleur and Campagnolo Record front derailleur. The derailleurs are operated from shifting levers located on the bottom bar. The freewheel is Regina and has sprockets of 14, 16, 18, 23 and 26 teeth.
  • GEAR RANGE: The gear range is 51 to 100 with the steps as follows:

49-26 51 52-26 54 49-23 58 52-23 61 49-18 74
52-18 78 49-16 83 52-16 88 49-14 95 52-14 100
  • TOOLS: Included is a tool kit containing Campagnolo tools for disassembling and adjusting the crank set, for adjusting the saddle and seat post and for adjusting the derailleurs.
  • COLORS: Paramount models are available in your choice of all Schwinn colors or all chrome finish.
  • WEIGHT: 23 pounds. Weight will vary depending on frame size, options and accessories.
  • USE AND PURPOSE: The P13 Road Racing Paramount, as the name implies, is intended primarily for competitive road racing or fast touring in cycling clubs. The standard equipment items such as sew-up tires, relatively narrow gear range, and shorter wheelbase frame are intended to make the P13 Paramount the best in professional road racing equipment. The competitive purpose of the P13 also dictates the choice of available options such as choice of sprocket sizes, controls and brakes.
  • FRAME OPTIONS:

    • Standard frame sizes of 20", 21", 22", 23", 24", 25" or 26" may be ordered at no extra cost.
    • Custom built, made to measure frame -- $40.00 extra cost.
  • SADDLE OPTIONS:

    • Brooks Professional all-leather saddle -- standard equipment.
    • Unica-Nitor nylon saddle -- no extra cost.

Model P15-9 (Men's). Six frame sizes, made to measure frames at extra cost. Chrome tipped fork and stays. Round head badge. Deluxe Paramount: 15 speed, 31 to 104 gear range. Alloy cotterless crank set (36/49/54). 14-16-19-25-31 freewheel cluster. Suicide levers on brakes. Available in all Schwinn colors including chrome. $350.00
  • FRAME COMPONENTS: All frame components are manufactured from Reynolds 531 double butted tubing. The decal on the seat mast which reads "Guaranteed built with Reynolds 531 butted tubes, forks, and stays," makes these three important points:


    1. The entire frame is manufactured from Reynolds 531 butted tubing.
    2. Butted tubes are manufactured in such a way that at the points of greatest stress (near the brazed joints), the guage of the tubing is thickened without, however, increasing the outside diameter. Double butted tubing therefore, is able to combine the ultimate in lightness with the ultimate in strength.
    3. "531" tubing is unaffected by the temperatures required in the hand brazing operation. The tubing therefore retains all of its original strength at the greatest points of stress.

    Additionally, all joints are further reinforced with Nervex Professional cut lugs. The rear stays are equipped with Campagnolo rear fork ends.

    All frame components are hand assembled.

  • FRAME SPECIFICATIONS: The P15 Paramount is available in seven frame sizes ranging from 20" to 26" (frame sizes are measured from the center of the crank hangar to the top of the seat mast). The head and seat mast are parallel with each other and form a 73-deg. angle with the wheelbase center line.
  • FRAME TRIM: Chrome trim on the head lugs, fork crown, six inches of chrome trim on the rear fork and stays and the front fork.
  • FORK: The fork is manufactured from from Reynolds 531 butted tubing which again, combines the best in lightness with the best in strength and resiliency. The fork has a 2" rake and is equipped with Campagnolo Gran Sport fork tips.
  • WHEELS: Assembled with Weinmann aluminum alloy rims on Campagnolo Record large flange road hubs. The spokes are .080-.060 gauge and are chrome plated. The hubs are equipped with a quick release machanism allowing the wheels to be removed without the use of tools.
  • TIRES: Standard equipment tires are wired-on high pressure 27" x 1-1/4" tires.
  • HANDLEBAR: Cinelli aluminum alloy drop style handlebars with Maes style road racing bend.
  • CRANK SET: The P15 Paramount is equipped with a triple plateau Campagnolo Nouvo Record crank set. This crank is a three-piece aluminum alloy crank set with 170MM (6-3/4") crank arms. The chainwheels are of aluminum alloy also and have 36, 49 and 54 teeth.
  • PEDALS: Campagnolo pedals with Christophe toe clips and Alfredo Binda toe straps.
  • SADDLE: Brooks Professional all-leather saddle. All leather saddles used on Paramount models are "broken-in" at the Schwinn factory.
  • DERAILLEURS AND FREEWHEEL: Campagnolo Gran Turismo rear derailleur and Campagnolo Record front derailleur. The derailleurs are operated from shifting levers located on the bottom bar. The freewheel has sprockets of 14, 16, 19, 25 and 31 teeth.
  • GEAR RANGE: The gear range is 31 to 104 with the steps as follows:

36-31 31 36-25 39 49-31 43 54-31 47 36-19 51
49-25 53 54-25 58 36-16 61 36-14 69 49-19 70
54-19 77 49-16 83 54-16 91 49-14 95 54-14 104
  • TOOLS: Included is a tool kit containing Campagnolo tools for disassembling and adjusting the crank set, for adjusting the saddle and seat post and for adjusting the derailleurs.
  • COLORS: Paramount models are available in your choice of all Schwinn colors or all chrome finish.
  • WEIGHT: 25 pounds. Weight will vary depending on frame size, options and accessories.
  • USE AND PURPOSE: The P15 Deluxe Paramount is primarily intended for general touring. The very broad gear range makes the P15 especially suited for touring in hilly or mountainous terrain. In addition, the frame stays and bridges are designed to accomodate touring equipment such as clincher (wired-on) tires and fenders. The frame construction and the use of broad range derailleurs also make the use of Campagnolo fingertip controls and Campagnolo brakes impractical on the P15 Deluxe Paramount.
  • FRAME OPTIONS:

    • Standard frame sizes of 20", 21", 22", 23", 24", 25" or 26" may be ordered at no extra cost.
    • Custom built, made to measure frame -- $40.00 extra cost.

Seatpost decal may have changed this year although the catalogs show it changing in ’74.
  • FRAME COMPONENTS: All frame components are manufactured from Reynolds 531 double butted tubing. The decal on the seat mast which reads "Guaranteed built with Reynolds 531 butted tubes, forks, and stays," makes these three important points:


    1. The entire frame is manufactured from Reynolds 531 butted tubing.
    2. Butted tubes are manufactured in such a way that at the points of greatest stress (near the brazed joints), the guage of the tubing is thickened without, however, increasing the outside diameter. Double butted tubing therefore, is able to combine the ultimate in lightness with the ultimate in strength.
    3. "531" tubing is unaffected by the temperatures required in the hand brazing operation. The tubing therefore retains all of its original strength at the greatest points of stress.

    Additionally, all joints are further reinforced with Nervex Professional cut lugs. The rear stays are equipped with Campagnolo rear fork ends.

    All frame components are hand assembled.

  • FRAME SPECIFICATIONS: The P13 Paramount is available in seven frame sizes ranging from 20" to 26" (frame sizes are measured from the center of the crank hangar to the top of the seat mast). The head and seat mast are parallel with each other and form a 73-deg. angle with the wheelbase center line.
  • FRAME TRIM: Chrome trim on the head lugs, fork crown, six inches of chrome trim on the rear fork and stays and the front fork.
  • FORK: The fork is manufactured from Reynolds 531 butted tubing which again, combines the best in lightness with the best in strength and resiliency. The fork has a 2" rake and is equipped with Campagnolo Gran Sport fork tips.
  • WHEELS: Assembled with Weinmann aluminum alloy rims on Campagnolo Record large flange road hubs. The spokes are .080-.060 gauge and are chrome plated. The hubs are equipped with a quick release machanism allowing the wheels to be removed without the use of tools.
  • TIRES: Standard equipment tires are Clementi No. 50 sew-up tires.
  • HANDLEBAR: Cinelli aluminum alloy drop style handlebars with Maes style road racing bend.
  • CRANK SET: The P13 Paramount is equipped with a double plateau Campagnolo Nouvo Record crank set. This crank is a three-piece aluminum alloy crank set with 170MM (6-3/4") crank arms. The chainwheels are of aluminum alloy also and have 49 and 52 teeth.
  • PEDALS: Campagnolo pedals with Christophe toe clips and Alfredo Binda toe straps.
  • SADDLE: Brooks Professional all-leather saddle. All leather saddles used on Paramount models are "broken-in" at the Schwinn factory.
  • DERAILLEURS AND FREEWHEEL: Campagnolo Nouvo Record rear derailleur and Campagnolo Record front derailleur. The derailleurs are operated from shifting levers located on the bottom bar. The freewheel is Regina and has sprockets of 14, 16, 18, 23 and 26 teeth.
  • GEAR RANGE: The gear range is 51 to 100 with the steps as follows:

49-26 51 52-26 54 49-23 58 52-23 61 49-18 74
52-18 78 49-16 83 52-16 88 49-14 95 52-14 100
  • TOOLS: Included is a tool kit containing Campagnolo tools for disassembling and adjusting the crank set, for adjusting the saddle and seat post and for adjusting the derailleurs.
  • COLORS: Paramount models are available in your choice of all Schwinn colors or all chrome finish.
  • WEIGHT: 23 pounds. Weight will vary depending on frame size, options and accessories.
  • USE AND PURPOSE: The P13 Road Racing Paramount, as the name implies, is intended primarily for competitive road racing or fast touring in cycling clubs. The standard equipment items such as sew-up tires, relatively narrow gear range, and shorter wheelbase frame are intended to make the P13 Paramount the best in professional road racing equipment. The competitive purpose of the P13 also dictates the choice of available options such as choice of sprocket sizes, controls and brakes.

In addition, the frame stays and bridges are designed to accomodate touring equipment such as clincher (wired-on) tires and fenders. The frame construction and the use of broad range derailleurs also make the use of Campagnolo fingertip controls and Campagnolo brakes impractical on the P15 Deluxe Paramount.
