An interesting 1980's Paramount frame

Hello,

I recently "won" this 1986 frame on ebay. What caught my attention were all the eyelets. At first I thought they may have been added on at a later time, but scouring the web, I did see a couple other Paramounts built this way--but just a couple.

A serial number was provided during the sale, which translates to a 1986 Waterford-built, but I don't know where the serial number is located on the frame.

Nevertheless it is a beautifully-built frame, and I have been seeking a quick steel bike that can be loaded up, which I think I found. I was seeking something like an old Specialized Sequoia, but this was a much better find. This has the same configuration as my 1985 Trek 720, but with a much tighter geometry.

If anyone else knows anything about this particular frame, I'd love to know about it. The previous (assuming original) owner's name is painted on the chainstay: "Robert Von Nick".

I also have more photos here.

Happy new year!

The serial number should be stamped on the bottom of the BB shell. You can try contacting Waterford, but don't expect to learn a lot. Schwinn won't be able to tell you anything.
