He goes into a rediculous story of how Schwinn acquired the finest Italian artisan frame builders and brought them to U.S. soil to build the frames, and that nothing compared to his Paramount. It gets old hearing him ramble on about the little cycling knowledge He thinks he has, but I give him a break as he is old, widowed, and lonely.
