FS '86 Paramount 55cm
Too many bikes here in the shop, and again the War Department is stirred up! So this one needs to go. I bought it last year from California for $450 and never even put it together, It still has some of the packing left on the parts. It came without a seat and brake calipers, but I have a set of new Shimano brake calipers that I send along with it. So the offer is $450 for this one. If that price doesn't float yet boat make mean offer, cause it needs to leave one way or another. Pics here:
Bike as it sits now, tri color paint with matching Michelin tires.
SLX frame tubing
Spidel headset
Dura ace front hub with new wheel
Sun mistral rims are new
Rear mech: 105
More pics to come

More pics:
Campy crank Athena?
Tri color rear hub with new mistral rim
Cinelli bars
Dura Ace brake levers
Cinelli birds eye stem
Seat post and front Dura ace skewer
If I had not gotten two better fitting frames in the last month I might try to keep it but I'm a little scared of the War Department being riled up over too many bikes. PM me smiles, MH

$450 is much less than the value of the parts on that.

Well folks,
I didn't build it I just bought it! I thought I wanted another Paramount but this one is a bit too big, so it will go, either in a complete form or in parts. I would prefer to not tear it apart so I have offered it up here. Smiles, MH

That’s a very patriotic build and a great price. (Considers what can be sold to make room…)

Folks,
That didn't take long! I'm hoping the War Department will calm down before the two Italians show up in the shop. Thanks for looking. Smiles, MH

And yes it sounds like some of the deals I make. Selling one bike and two more arrive to replace it.

This bike should put a smile on your face. Dave offers fine merchandise at bargain prices and packages it extremely well. Although these bikes have a reputation for being stiff, the quality is exceptional.
I hope to get the 1991 OS model that I got from him posted soon. I’m building it with a Shimano 600 Tri-color group.
BTW, since these were primarily sold as framesets, the hodgepodge of parts is not unusual.
Cheers,
Van

Too kind of you. I can't wait to see the builds of both bikes!
Lynn is gonna have a fun one when he gets the bike. It will get boxed up tomorrow and be on it's way.
One of the Italian frames will be leaving soon so hopefully the War Department will be a bit calmer. The real job is starting to kick up so I may be a bit slow to the forum for while but I will try to keep up. Smiles. MH
