Don't worry, I've got my eye out for Sports Tourers locally (there was a yellow fixer-upper in For Trade recently, didn't seem as if it would take that much to acquire it either), but I am not entirely keen on the idea. I'm not sure whether they'll ride to my taste - mind you, I'm quite fickle about it. Not even the '70 Paramount rides quite the same as the '61, and I have a feeling the Titan bar/stem has something to do with it. Regardless, that's why I seek them out - the ride quality and that unbelievably stiff 531 English-bend fork - granted, though, this eBay disaster has an incorrect fork on it with an Italian bend. Chancy, but worth the risk, IMO.

That said, I am also passing on every Super Sport I see. I will not have another Ashtabula BB - even if converted - in the fleet. I dislike them with a passion.
