Well, I don't think it can be a stock Road Standard, at least not from the catalog year posted, because those apparently had clearance for a 700x35, whereas this frame does not go wider than 30. Unless one or the other fact is incorrect. Or it changed year to year and this is a different year than the catalog.
In terms of price, I think there was a discussion recently about a Wilbury that was actually listed *over* the old price, and that was not, as this one is, an almost 20-year old frame. Don't forget that in addition to possible intrinsic value, and collectability/rareness, there is inflation--a similar frame today goes for at least a grand more. Then there is simple desirability: Try buying a Schwinn Paramount <http://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-Chrome-1973-Schwinn-Paramount-P15-DeLuxe-Touring-25-63-CM-Campagnolo-/172008621100> for the listed catalog price. <http://schwinncruisers.com/catalogs/1973.html#deluxe-touring-paramount> On Monday, November 23, 2015 at 3:57:51 PM UTC-5, Ryan Fleming wrote: > > I think it is a 1996/1997 and the $1350 asking price is about the same as > it was then (1.2-1.35K).
