And after years of fretting over not fitting a 24.5"/62cm top tube, let alone the 61cm length from the tallest Cannondales, my revamped fitness has it in range, if only just. I look forward to putting it on the road again.
Great news, I cannot imagine a collection without Paramount's all I have to do now is find a 60's and mine will span 4 decades with multiples in the 70's.
