especially one that hasn't been built up into a wheel!

Yes, I have one (though the photo used was grabbed from the net). I guess you could say I saw it and had to have it. Er, maybe that's not how I should phrase that though...

lovely!
how could you resist the urge to polish them up?! They look so nice with a mirror finish.

I think this would be a good impetus to start a thread titled "why I have all of this NOS stuff sitting in boxes in the closet".

back to photos of things that aren't polished aluminum from the 70's.....



I was cleaning the chain today, so naturally I assumed that everyone would be interested.

@tmh657

love it!

Besides the fact that it reminds me of my copper Raleigh International, the lighting is great! Can you tell me what your secret is???

Also... I didn't know that you could get a Paramount in that color. Very nice. The striping is good too. Lovely bike!

Indeed. A 4 x 4' white foam core. That Coppertone Paramount was very nice but the PO had scribed his name in a few places.
