Happy Fourth of July, everyone!
Project KOM-10 Team Issue, the 1988-1989 version of the Paramountain. Tange Prestige II tubing throughout. The one hanging from the garage rafters is mine -- the rest belong to other folks. I even bought mine from a San Diego firefighter, circa 1993. Some bikes don't need no decoration for 4th of July parades.
A bare Project KOM frame.
Not mine, but similar. My fork is different, with higher bosses to accommodate a front RollerCam or U-brake instead of a cantilever.
Shot through the Bianchi, with the Capo Siegers hanging behind me.

I love that T.S.Isaac, a marque I had never encountered before.
My Schwinn was made when Schwinn was sponsoring mountain bicycling champion Ned Overend. (My wife is always amused by that surname for a mountain biker. )

Ok, here's the PDG Series Paramount and what I'll be wearing today while out on it. 
Still haven't found a good pair of Red, White, and Blue bibs.

I'll be on this, with a stars/stripes jersey.
I'm fairly sure my old friend will be on this, as he's a naturalized citizen. (Wish I had those wheels back)

Nothing more patriotic than RWB to celebrate a 1st Olympic Gold in the road race. ‘84/85 Pinarello

Not my bike, but I saw this guy out riding, and it wasn't even July 4th,
Said he was on his way to church on a 1890s Columbia.
If bar tape counts, here's my red, white and blue.
Red, white and blue decals?
Not quite vintage, but the colors are.

Its cheating a bit as the bike frame itself is only blue and white, red Tange 2 sticker notwithstanding but it did have red bar tape earlier this year. Happy 4th fellow ungrateful Colonists
