Thanks for the pointers on finding the expired listings. I think I spy a Tretubi sticker. Mine, with the same graphics, is SL and has the 51.151 hour record panto. It rides similar to my Colnago Super and would be a steal at that price, but I don't think this is one. Worth a look though for a Philadelphian.

Something I've never seen before -- a very early Schwinn Voyager. A little price, but super cool.

Always had a soft spot for the lotuses, this looks like 1984 Eclair tour model and a sleeper--bet it can be had for sub 100 but does need tires and tune....

This is a 1986 Waterford WI built Paramount. The components are a Shimano mix with a 10 speed cassette and a Dura Ace double crankset. Paramount built some of the best steel bikes in America. and their reputation for innovation and for build quality is widely respected. The bikes will always be collector's items that you can use every day.
The bike has the paint chips and decal tears you would expect of a well used bike but there is no rust. The bike has never been used on a trainer so the top tube has no rusting at the cable brazeons. Measured center of top tube to center of the crank the seat tube is 22" or 56cm as it the top tube.
Please include a phone number in your response. The price is $600 or best offer. I will be available to show the bike Saturday or Sunday.

needs new tires
...and now that I've posted it, I bet it's not classic or vintage. It caught my eye, anyway.
