Last week, I saw a Paramount tossed out onto the street to be picked up by the garbage truck. I was going to take the bike home but I swear, it weighted close to 40 pounds or more!! How could that be a Reynolds frame when my low level Bianchi Volpe (Reynods 525) is about 10 to 15 pounds lighter! I don't get it. I think you guys are wrong because the Paramount felt like it was made from gas pipe steel which is why I left that bike alone and it's right now tossed in some land fill.

P.S. The drive train was all rusted so the the only good thing on that bike was the frame which I thought was made from gas pipe.
