Bill- I'd like to get in line for the frame bag, if it doesn't work out for CT Cyclist.
Since I have an identical frame to your Paramountain (an XL Schwinn KOM-10, 22" x 24"), that frame bag would fit mine perfectly. Mine is built with drop bars, and I also had eyelets added to the fork and frame. I had the brass work done after media-blasting the frame, and now it has a clear powder coat over the raw steel.
