Beautiful bike.
Where did you score the bike?
eBay. I paid too much for the first orange Paramount, but paid too little for this one and the yellow one. Go figure.
I've never had a bike with anything other than downtube shifters, so I'm curious to see how I like barends. I've ridden the yellow Paramount over 1000 miles, so I am familiar with the ride - somewhat soft and lacking in a lot of gear choices, but a headturner to older riders like me who can remember when the Paramount was near or at the paramount of bicycles.
