I cant wait to see the after paint pictures.
Kylarr, thanks for posting it, I didn’t think I would have an opportunity to purchase a vintage Paramount closer to my size. My 1951 Paramount is a 20 inch frame, this 1939 is 23 inches so I was very happy to get it. The man who sold me the bike is one of the authors of “The Six-Day Bicycle Races: America's Jazz-Age Sport”, he has a well-known online museum of fantastic vintage bicycles including Alf Goullet’s 1923 Spencer Special. Some of those bikes are still on display in the bike shop there, if you get an opportunity you should go and see them if you haven’t already.
