PDG Paramount Series OS frame question
 
I got one of these a month or so ago, kitted as a single speed. Can't stand seeing that way, so I'm putting it back right. Only thing I'm short is a front derailleur. Before I jump out and start looking, what size clamp on size am I looking for? I do not have calipers and I'd like to do some eBay shopping for Dura Ace today.

Thanks in advance.

I've got a '91 series 3 that came with RX-100 equipment, and my front derailleur is listed as the standard 28.6 per velobase. Love those OS Paramounts--just the right mix of stiff and smooth.

I can verify, it's 28.6

Agree on all counts. Except that mine is a 92 Series 5.

Thank you, gentlemen. It's a cool bike. Will be much cooler with real gears on it. Post to follow when I finish the build.

I actually converted my PDG to SS a few years ago. This summer I brought it back to life with the original components (with the exception of a compact crankset). It is a sweet riding bike. Enjoy!
