Back in the 70s I toured on my 73 Schwinn P-15 Paramount. It was (is - I still have it) made of a somewhat heavier than standard duty Reynolds 531 tubing set. It was not a full on touring bike, but did have a slightly longer wheelbase/chainstays than the P-10 racing Paramount - more of what would be called a sport-tourer. I still have the full matched set of Kirtland Tour Pack panniers - front, rear and handlebar bag all in red.
