Yeah, you've only got like 6 months (maybe 8 if you're in a fly-over) to enjoy the end of a long-dying fad.

I'd wait a bit and see if you can't turn your Paramount into the new New Coke.

Edit: An interesting side note while we're on the topic of trends: It really does look like SSFG is becoming C&V. Just one example from today:

And check out the numbers on C&V vs SSFG...the trend is definitely vintage-ward.

We're the new New Coke!...

Yo, OP, if you want to catch the next wave, just put a honey Brooks and some VO leather bar tape on your Paramount...there's yer fixie.
