I'm not hating on the Asian built Paramounts. I've had one of each flavor and wouldn't turn any of them away. The earlier lugged models with 1" headtube are what I'm looking for. David(Oddjob2) has a few in his stockpile and just waiting to hear back to see if I'll be needing to make a trip down to lovely Detroit any time soon. Lol.

Funny though now I'm back working at a bike shop that nothing even catches my attention to use my discount. We don't even have any decent used parts or bikes. I'll need to change that.
