Schwinn Paramount -- Installed some pedals so the bike can be test ridden
 |
| I put these simple pedals on the bike so that I can test ride it. It doesn't exactly match the bike or the period... |
 |
| The rear derailleur hanger is slightly bent. I'll have to figure out how to bent it back slightly... |

Schwinn Paramount -- Installing the crank arms
 |
| Applied some grease on the bolt that holds the crank arms in place (this will make it easier to remove). |
 |
| Also applied some grease on the tapered square end to ease removal later. (aluminum on steel so a grease layer is also helpful for dis-similar metal corrosion). |
 |
| Both crank arms installed. |
 |
| The bolt was torqued down to a pretty high level (by feel... about 30 to 40 lb-ft, I would guess). |
 |
| The inner ring has good clearance to the chainstay tube. The bottom bracket that I bought is the right size. |
 |
| Bolt torqued down. |
 |
| The bottom bracket rotates smoothly with no play. |
 |
| Done. |
