The "too nice to convert" argument has always irked me. I mean, a bicycle is a bicycle, no matter what you do with it. It gets you from point A to point B, and more importantly, it gets ridden. If you have a Paramount lying around and you just love riding SS/FG, there's really no reason not to convert. Even those jackass kids who end up tarcking out the nicest vintage frames...at least (most of the time) it's something for them to ride and enjoy.

And for northbend's sake, he definitely did the Paramount justice.
