Bikes: mid 80s Ross Centaur converted to Alfine 11 09 motobecane imortal force, 83 Ross Paragon,81 Schwinn LeTour Tourist, 91 Paramount, 93 GT converted to city bike

IF you decide to strip the PDG and sell the frame,and fork drop me an e as to price. (mcyak@localnet.com)
I've got the 3 series (10 out of 10 condition)
Just a bit curious as to how you wound up with 650s. Mine's a 91 version and a 56cm frame and came with 700s.
There's a fair difference (and anyone associated with the waterford paramounts will be readily happy to explain)between the japanese pdg and the waterford parmounts. I don't believe the waterfords had the OS tubing.
This was right at that nasty divorce period when Schwinn still reatined the name but Richard Schwinn and waterford had all the prestige.
Schwinn needed 'something' and the PDG series were it 3s with rx100 group 5s with the 105 group and 7s with the ultegra group
I gotta say: I own a new CF motobecane imortal force and while it's quicker in response off the line I can maintain the same speed and almost the same climbing ability on the PDG-3 (which I've equipped with a stronglight compact crank 46/34)
So..yeah, I'd definitely be interested in the frame for a single speed ! D
