It's been a while: Gratuitous Paramount Pics
It's been a while for me, that is, since I've built up a bike to completion. I've got a number of projects that have been languishing in my basement, victims of velo ennui.
I mustered the energy and cash to finish my '84 Paramount frame with a mix of modern 9 speed Campy (is 9 speed modern anymore?). Rides nice and looks pretty good, I think. http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y21...nt_84_0067.jpg http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y21...nt_84_0081.jpg http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y21...nt_84_0091.jpg http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y21...nt_84_0097.jpg Okay haters, at least it's got some vintage shoes! http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y21...nt_84_0106.jpg Chomping at the bit, ready to ride: http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y21...nt_84_0075.jpg |
Very nice JYB. You will let us know how it rides, eh?

. Ah HA! Slipping a triple in on me again!! And on a Paramount too!!! . No showers, no T-storms. I expect to see that beauty tomorrow. . And ride it too. You owe me a Paramount ride, remember? . If I do bring it, which is iffy, I'll keep it on the big ring just for you! |
Looks great!
Still riding that Guerciotti like every day too. I put a longer stem on it and it's riding wonderfully. |
Very nice.

Where did you score those tires.. they old stock unearthed or still being made? love a set in 23c or 25 if available!
|
Looks great, JYB! That thing is ready to fly.

Thanks for the kind comments. I was hoping this bike would pedal itself, but alas...

Beautiful bike. Enjoy the rides.
|
Sweet bike. Hopefully we can get another ride together and I can see it in person
|
Great build JYD! It looks great and I am sure it rides just the same.

JYB,
Great lookin' P! :thumb: I'm proud of you for hangin' the Campy triple on the frame and that big range cassette on the rear wheel! As that hippo on Escape from Madagascar likes to sing; "I like them big!" :p I've been riding frequently with a buddy from the church. Tonight near the end of 25 miler we stopped at another church buddy's house, and he was the first local person to recognize my '83 Paramount as a great bike "back in the day," as he said. :D Can I post a patriotic shot of my American legend? Flag day is Monday! :) http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p...dHonorRoll.jpg |
Missing a pair of dropout adjuster screws? And what happened to the rear of the fork crown, around the brake nut recess?

Really? Make me want to open that white door with the horse painted on it and see if I'm lucky enough to find me a Paramount! |

IF Cudak were here he'd say THAT'S NO PARAMOUNT.
Of course, my '89 would disagree and say yours looks tremendous!! |
Excellent. A real Paramount, too.
