It is with a heavy heart that I come to you today, to inform the C&V community that I will no longer be C&Ving. The '83 Paramount is going up for sale. In it's place will reside a 2004 LeMond Poprad 'cross bike draped with Campy Record/Chorus 10sp parts.
Buh-Bye.

(I'm sure I'll be back, I just like to be dramatic)

Bikes: Two wheeled ones

I was lucky enough to have an 04' Poprad...a bike that seriously exceeded my expectations. Why did I sell it? I'm still asking myself that - I REALLY liked that bike. It's going to blow your Paramount to hell and you won't miss it. Get ready for an awesome, versatile ride!

FYI - they're classic, at least to me. You're still with us.

I think that's the appropriate course of action.

You are just being dramatic. The Paramount will never sell for what you have in to it, and you will end staying around anyway.

You'll be back, It's in your blood now, Someday you'll be riding along on the Poprad, passing a garage sale and out of the corner of your eye you spot....

Don't let the door hit ya on yer way out

I've got an OX Platinum Poprad and like Snake said it outweighed my expectations too. Plus they look classic and vintage with those panel decals.
