just picked this up last night. i had never seen a paramount like this before with the different decals and such, but after some investigating, i heard that these were fairly scarce and not made for a very long time. in fact, i think that paramount only used these decals for two years or so. anyway, its a little big(whats new) but rides great. what i dont like about it is the xc pro rear derailleur and the bar tape. i need to get a superbe pro 7 speed rear to match the rest of the parts. dont know why they put that ugly black one on there. i also dont really like the saddle, i will be looking to trade for a turbo or rolls. anyway, im dying to take it for a real ride but that darn rain!!!
