Probably a repeat thread....but hey, they are Paramounts!

Here is my '89:


...and my '72:

P-15-9 ... October, 1971

How tall are you?

1986 - Probably 20 miles on her when I picked her up. I changed the saddle and bar tape, put on an 8 speed DA group w/barcons to replace the 6 speed DA group. Rims are Open CD Pro vice similar Matrix ISO.

I dont own a paramount personally, but I have some friends who do and got them together for a picture...

5' 19"

Those are some seriously beautiful machines....seriously....

...many of them I haven't seen till now....Wonderful!

1971 P13-9 21"

1972 P15-9 24"

1987 "Standard" 62cm

1978 P10. Just put this in the cherished thread also, but oh well

'72 P-15

'92 Waterford Paramount OS w/ full Dura Ace in the original "Blue Velvet Gas" which literally changes color between the indoor/artificial lighting and becomes brilliant semi-transparent/blue gaseous in natural sunlight (Hey Dr D, is that a candy-coat thing?) I discussed this bike w/ Scooper before purchasing and am so happy that I listened to him and purchased it. It's the most refined cycle I've ever owned, period. I did however change out the high-tech pedals for my trusty Campy w/ clips because I can't stand newer pedal technology

Not mine, but I just worked on this gorgeous '65.

71 Paramount

bigwoo: Neat! I knew someone had to paint a bike in such a way sometime somewhere... Thats a nasty handlebar stem though!

My Burgundy '72 P13


My Opaque Blue '73 P13

Late to the party, but here it goes:

72 P-13. Rims have been changed out. Burgundy respray with Swantak decals delivered before he flaked.



71 P-13 Chrome.



73 P-15 Opaque Blue. Original paint and decals.



Mrs. K's 74 P-15, showing modifications necessary to get her to ride it.

1972 P13


1976 P14

I hear what you're saying, I'm not a Deda fan myself because of the asthetic of it and am contemplating going w/ a much more vintage looking stem, but I think that Waterford had/has some sort of connection w/ Deda, so I have left it on so far out of loyalty to Waterford, as I was thinking they may have made it in America (I could be dead wrong about that )

THAT should be a postcard, how beautiful is that!

It's in pieces right now, but it'll be back together tomorrow or Monday. I'm going to leave it at my parent's house in Cincinnati for me to ride when I come home from Chicago.

It's stock for the most part, except it's on Open Pro/Ultegra wheels and I'm running an 8-speed STI rear shifter so that I can use it as a spare bike for racing. I've put tons of miles on it and it's been a solid ride – just as great for a long day of riding or trying (and failing) to put in a breakaway in a Cat. 3 race.

This was an accidental "find" when I went to look at an early '80s full Record Masi Gran Crit. The gentleman had quite a collection a "classics" and was liquidating a few he no longer wanted. Long story short, I loaded the car up with both the Masi, this beautiful Paramount frame and 3 other complete Record bikes. This Paramount however, will probably always be my best Craigslist deal ever...$300. It's one of four Paramounts I currently own including 2 I've found in the last three weeks and the only one I currently have pics of:

Uh, er, I wish my chrome Paramount frame was back from the shop so I could get it put together and share a picture.

My '66 P-13 modified into a 18 speed. I know, I know, I should sell it to Barn Door and buy a smaller one.

Here's a repost of my new (to me) '89 OS...

This may be the greatest thread of all time.
