I am down to six bikes at the moment. Feels good as the apartment is small. A complete Paramount would be seven, so I contemplate selling one. The good Schwinns streak has been good to me. Though, to be honest, neither will be a cheap complete bike. The Paramount for obvious reasons of restoration (I will come out pretty much even to what I could buy as a complete, more or less), and the Super Le Tour being what I call a "frame dive" candidate, meaning I 'dove' for the frame and nothing else on a once-complete bike, even if the components weren't in great shape. As it stands, the SLT is getting a load of Dura Ace and go fast parts as I finally got the chrome cleaned, restored, and re-decal'ed. Just got the brakes in (last thing) and am aiming for a complete bike tonight, if not test ride as it will be raining again very soon.
