For your consideration, a highly collectible 1988 Schwinn Paramount 50th Anniversary Frameset with true Schwinn family provenance!
This frameset was originally owned by Susan Schwinn (Sister of Richard Schwinn, Waterford Cycles founder). Susan passed away in 2019. I am selling this frameset on behalf of her widower (Nick Strzelecki).
This sale includes a red satin Team Schwinn jacket (Size Medium) embroidered with Susan’s name, and a retro-inspired Schwinn tin wall sign. The frameset has never been built and is in nearly immaculate condition after 37 years of secure storage.
The majority of 50th Anniversary frames were painted in Anniversary Black or Candy Red. This is the more unique Pearl White finish with gorgeous iridescent Purple & Green hues. And of course, the famous Gold-Plated fork with original red velvet protective bag. Standard custom Paramount branded Stronglight A9 needle bearing headset.

Over the decades, collectors of Paramount 50th Anniversary frames have commonly built them with Campagnolo 50th or Shimano Dura-Ace 25th Anniversary Gruppos. Or a modern neo-retro build would make for an amazing, dynamic visual.
Or simply hang the frame on a wall as the work of art that it is. Quintessential American craftsmanship.
