Thanks for looking.

Color looks identical to my Paramount from that time frame except mine has a fastback setup for the seat stay.

I have a picture of the original receipt. Bought the bike from the original owner. Purchased 11/21/89.

Bump for an awesome frame and new price.

New price!

Wow I had no idea these were worth so much.

Not surprising as I can personally vouch from ownership of a dumpster save pearlescent white one that these bikes ride very nicely.

Deshi 01-26-15 09:59 PM

I'm open to offers y'all. It doesn't fit me so it just sitting in the corner now...gonna go on the wall before to long.

Someone threw a Waterford Paramount in the dumpster???? Thank goodness you rescued it.
I paid $350 for a minty frame with a Dura Ace headset, and drove from Dayton to Chicago to pick up.
When I got back, the people at the LBS were like, "dude, what a cool score". and " I know someone that will give you $$$ for it".
Dumpster. SMH

It's amazing what people throw out. Meet 'Dumpster Sally':

Skil 8.25" worm drive. She don't stop for anything. All I did was replace the cord.

*Apologies for the thread drift. Nice bike.

Of course it seen some better days but here it is after I went through cleaning it a bit up.
It's a sporty cruiser now.

Everything besides stem/bar/saddle/seatpost came with it.
Took it all apart and everything was in pretty good condition. All it needed was some cleaning and adjustment. Don't get me started on the dropout adjusters, I had to use PB blaster to unseize them.
Has a full tri-color drivetrain and levers but for some reason it was found with single pivot 600's. I guess the original owner got another bike and stole the calipers from it.

Very glad you saved that beauty!
