My first find for 2013. Not sure which model it is yet, but it's a good one :)

Great find on that Trek! Wow!
Picked up an XS 1992 Paramount Series 70 MTB, not exactly a deal for sure. But with a nice Tange Prestige frame, and built by Panasonic, why not? I needed a nice XS frameset to build a bike for my wife. This makes 3 1992 Panasonic built Paramounts in the fleet: a series 5, a series 7, and this one. I also have a 1992 9C frameset in the to be built pile (Kestrel built). Now I need to find a series 90 in a medium size. http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8188/8...955c74a8_b.jpg Nice headset! http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8373/8...ede9327c_b.jpg The frame sticker I always like seeing: http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8089/8...989a75d6_b.jpg |
^Is that a Hetchinsamount? That DS chain stay does not look right.

Nice score on the Paramount MTB, I'd like to try to find one someday.
Although the color scheme of the Trek differs from the 82 brochure, I'm pretty sure this is a 1982 750. Tubing is Reynolds 531/SL, and it came with a full Campagnolo NR group. The bike is in amazing condition, it looks like it was hardly ridden. Fits me perfectly. Here are the as-found photos, prior to cleaning and tune up. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-d.../82trek_01.jpg https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-1.../82trek_02.jpg https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-V.../82trek_03.jpg No eyelets? No problem :) https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-a.../82trek_04.jpg Even the tires & tubes were pretty well preserved! https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-8.../82trek_05.jpg The rack will go, and I'll need to make plans to sell my TX300. |
What a great looking bike! I bet you were smiling the whole time forking over the money.
|
Lovin' that Trek! And your size to boot! WOW!
|
Thanks guys, I'm pretty stoked!

Vintage Trek mentions the 470 as being undocumented - seems to be the 460 but in black with 600 rather than Cyclone components. http://www.vintage-trek.com/images/t...TrekRacing.pdf Seems that the 400's were TT, 500's 501 w/TT stays, 600 were 531cs, and 700 were 531c. (I think that "cs" meant "customer select" or maybe that the 600's had TT stays, too) And that 750?? Damn!! I would love to find something like that, hehe. |
Nice Trek. I love when they use the vertical logo on both tube. Looks wrong, but looks right :)
Is the rack a "Jim Blackburn"? |
That was a nice Trek find, congrats!! I'm a big fan of those older lugged steel Trek bikes.
|
Thanks again! @thinktubes - no, the rack has a circular logo that I haven't looked at closely, I'm not sure who made it.

Amazing find, I really thought I'd done well buying my beat to hell 610 for $150. |
agreed - there's good karma when it's a fair price and it works out like that.
|
That is a sexy Trek. Nice score!

All of the series Paramounts had curvy chain stays that year. They actually did it for several years, 90 KOM, 91. 92, 93 and probably more.

I picked this up over the weekend at a swap meet for $100
It's a 1992 Specialized StumpJumper Comp in Fantastic condition! I made a thread about it with more pictures over here: http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread...5#post15220415 I plan on cleaning it up over the weekend. http://i1134.photobucket.com/albums/...ps0e1fbf13.jpg |
Really nice Stumpjumper there and WELL WORTH the price! I would have been all over it myself, and I am pretty thrifty.
|

Saddle alone covers the price on that Fuji. So the bike was free....
|
Nice catch on the 750, Chris!

Do not use this rack for heavy touring though, it was designed to handle about 25 pounds if I recall correctly. There are a better racks these days on the market. |
