I changed a lot of parts over the years. About 10 years ago I decided to restore it and started looking for original parts and could not find the Schwinn branded rear derailleur anywhere and ended up buying a 2nd 73 Paramount, that had all the original parts that mine was missing, but had Suntour Superbe brakes, a too small diameter seatpost and junk saddle. The bike was evidently not ridden much. The crank, pedals, chain, derailleurs and freewheel are almost pristine. They make my original crank and pedals look awful. I still have the original very well broken in, small copper rivet Brooks Professional saddle, also looking pretty sad. After 3 or 4 years, that saddle was so comfortable once my rear conformed to it!
