This is another one I keep going back and forth on getting rid of. It's the one I turned into a "weight weenie" project of sorts and got it down to 15 lbs 14 ozs. The ride is OK but not on par with most of my steel on my rough chisel roads. I keep thinking I could swap the light tubulars off this onto my Coppi and then sell this one. Still, it's a sort of rare bike being an old Paramount Racing Team bike, plus it's one of my few remaining patriotic paint jobs. I will say that the light weight never proved to be an advantage for my silly 19 avg mph game. The light weight did not translate into a super fast bike under me.

Maybe I should get this one out soon for a ride and decide.


15 lbs 14 ozs as seen in this picture. A Dura Ace Crankset should drop that a bit more.
