I've been looking at this model thru BikesDirect. (and looking and looking)
Is that a truvativ crankset on yours??
(reason I ask is there's been some issue with truvativ)
I definitely love the basic black (goes with everything LOL)although I keep flipping over to the stoplight red (candy apple red for those old enough to remember the custom car color)
I bought up several of the E3Gel seats when Performance dumped em for $19.95
I run em on the Paramount, the CF Motobecane IF and the Cruiser. Definitely one of the ost comfortable seats I've had (that I didn't have to spend a year breaking in ala Brooks)
I was going to convert a late 70s motobecane but by the time I'd have gotten thru retrofitting, this stripper made more sen$e
Great Bike!
Keep us posted on how ya like it.
