The gold fork would be irreplaceable if you had an accident, and the thin gold plating would get scraped and scarred just riding it. If you want a bike that rides every bit as good as an '88 50th anniversary Paramount with the gold fork, buy an '87 complete bike for a fraction of the $1200 asking price for just the frameset in the OP. Better yet, buy an '89 with OS tubing which is better, lighter and cheaper than the 50th anniversary wall art.

My $.02.

Disclaimer: I paid $500 for a '87 Paramount with 7400 D-A components that's essentially the same as the 50th anniversary '88 model, but no gold plated fork.
