Schwinn Paramount -- Took the bike for a test ride around the parking lot

The bike rode well.  The steering is very sharp at slow speeds.  I'm guessing that it may be just right for higher speeds.  The bike only has 6 rear speeds but it feels fast.

The SIS rear derailleur shifter and shifting was surprisingly good and easy.  The lever clicks through the gears with positive and easy detents and feels precise.  The gears shifted easily and went from gear to gear precisely without any issues.  SIS works really well.

I need to adjust the brakes so that the pads are closer to the rims (for faster response to the levers and for better stopping power).

I also need to adjust the rear derailleur hanger so that the largest rear gear can be used without the derailleur contacting the spokes on the wheels.

I also need to raise the seat just slightly (maybe 1/4 to 1/2 inch).

The mismatched front/rear tires look odd.  It would be good to get another gum colored tire for the rear.  The bicycle swap meet is this Saturday.  Will have to look for one...

Maybe I'll take this bike and ride it in the next Ciclavia...
