Pastor Bob,
It was with great pleasure that I purused the Waterford Site.... great. As a bicycle fanatic I had always dreamed of riding a Paramount. In 1971 I noticed a beat up old ten speed in an alley, in Mission Beach, CA. I had walked by this little beach bungalow on a regular basis for 10 years. Painted with mustard house paint, corroded and rusted, there it was... I found the owner. He complained of the constant flat tires and inconsistant reliability on the beach. I hastely informed him of the solution to his problems. I found an old Olmo, painted it forest green, laced up "clincher" wheels, transfered some parts (Magistroni Senior Cranks, Lyotard platform pedals, Ambrosia stem and bars, campy hubs, etc.) and left with the bar frame... serial number C21. I have recently restored my track bike and am startying to ride again. My Paramount is being professionally painted and will soon be lovingly rebuilt.... Thank you for helping me get started on my return to a life long passion....
