Schwinn Paramount -- Cleaning the Frame (about 2/3 done, working from the front to back...)

In this and all the pictures that follow, what's being shown is the "after" cleaning picture.  The frame was pretty dirty/greasy and some areas required some elbow-grease to get all the dirt/grease/stain off.

Other than some paint loss/scratches, the bottom bracket area is in pretty good condition. 

Rear view of the bottom bracket area (have not cleaned the chain-stays fully yet, as can be seen from the dirty LH side chain-stay tube.

Close-up of the seat clamp area.  Other than the areas of paint scratch/loss, it's in OK condition.

Looking down the downtube at the bottom bracket.  Looks really good in terms of paint condition from this limited view...

The frame is set up for two water bottles.

The RH side Paramount sticker on the downtube has  a few spots where the yellow letters are missing some color.  Might be able to touch it up...
