I found this 1973 Schwinn Paramount racing bike at a garage sale north of Seattle. Cleaned it up a bit,stripped it down, converted to fixed and now it is my summer commuter.

I can't find and rescue a Paramount from
becoming a fixed gear! Dammit!

Well you know it didn't come

Well you know it didn't come with any wheels, so it seemed like a good candidate to convert to fixed gear. If it had been complete I would have left it as a road bike.
