Twins Sons of Different Mothers...

Show us the twins....(BIKES, you pervs..)

Paramounts come to mind most often when I think of folks with multiples of the same thing.
I've got a few Ironman models, but they are not exactly twins....

Until Now:

1988 Centurion Dave Scott Ironman Carbon, which is a lot to put on a top tube.
One is equipped with Campy, mainly Chorus where it counts, 8-sp Ergos.
Two is equipped with Shimano 600 tricolor, 8-sp STI's.
Both are pretty much 99% built with used stuff, frames/parts/assistance from BF members.

So, let's see 'em. Prove they're not "re-do's" by showing both in a shot.

And I think the album was Dan Fogelberg and Tim Weisburg. Am I right?

88B0170


88C0163

^They both look awesome robbie.
Sadly, i can't join in this thread, unless someone sends me another steel allez!
I like the blue and yellow tape mixed on the campy setup. Might have to steal the look.

Wrap from PBK, about $3,

And Josh, getting the second frame was about half as complicated as our deal on the Lemans and 520, but went off just the same.

I'm not channeling the Doublemint Twins here. All mine are notably quite different.

That's the stuff....I know Kurt is lurking out there with some Paramounts, and I think OFG has a couple of close relatives.

Am I the only one who remembers the album Twin Sons of Different Mothers?
Maybe that was during a break from my headbanging. A lot of that time is blurry still...

"Am I the only one who remembers the album Twin Sons of Different Mothers?"

No way dude. I had it. Remember the photo of TW and DF? I believe the LP was titled correctly.

So which one the CF Ironmen has your heart? Campy or Shimano? I really dig the wheels on the Campy bike. Lp


One suggestion ----- back or silver on the H2O cage. Lp

Hmmm, have both cage colors.

Campy is the current flame...BUT, I just decided a nice black Equation wheelset may look pretty darn good on that Shimano version, and the competition would heat up. With your FD, I'm on the way to full Chorus, which will make the head-head comparison of the 8-sp STI/Ergo's more credible.

Thanks.

I'm still looking for those Paramounts out there. Those chrome ones are bossicles.

I'm trying to stay out of the perv dimension, but those Paramount/Waterfords kind of remind me of a mother/daughter combo.....
................don't go there, Robbie!

Do they ride the same?
.............aaaargh, it's just getting worse!

I better quit while I'm ahead. Fantastic set of bikes.

I'd also heard that the 1400 and the 2000 were about the same in '93, just different groups...Trek folks?

Quite right - it was Dan Fogelberg and Tim Weisberg. Their second collaboration, released in 1995, was entitled "No Resemblance Whatsoever." And I have both CDs.....

Tim Weisberg favored Colnagos. At least in the 70's. If I remember correctly, an album of his has a image of him riding one.

Nice guy, I seem to remember he also had a Campagnolo tool chest.

I don't have a picture of them together, since by the time the '83 Paramount was ready to ride, the '66 Paramount had long been in winter hibernation.

They have yet to breed twins.

I got to thinking about the twins movie with Arnold and Danny DeVito. These two of my bikes kind of are like that. Litespeed Ocoee and Litespeed Vortex.

My pair of Stumpjumper Sports. I bought the silver one new in 1983 or 84. It was originally 15 speed with friction thumbshifters on bullmoose bars.
It's now a singlespeed. No kittens were harmed in this build.



The black one was a beat-up thrift store find that has evolved into my commuter.
