Agreed

Is that from a museum, or do you actually ride it?

Very small museum but got two bikes now!
Thrift store find, new seat and tape.

Same saddle after 2500 miles http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=528173

The red saddle makes it ... Hot :thumb:

Cheers! I can tell by your user name you are a man of taste, and you probably know something about cars.
This is completely off topic, but as a favor can you talk me out of buying a 1991 Alfa 164? It costs about the same as that saddle, but it really looks nice.
What could go wrong with a 25 year old italian mistress, right?

A bit OT, but I like almost anything designed by Pininfarina! Go for it and post a photo when you bring her home ;)

11.8 mile shake down run. Stem not straight to wheel (always been bad at that), front mech drops cable from guide.

Would look nice with gumwall tires

Very nice, 159 GP car? Supercharged 8 cylinder beast! No seatbelts, no fire suppresion, horrible tires... when autoracing was a Sport!

A friend of mine owns two chrome Paramounts with Campy Record, ca. 1979

Thanks!
Normally I'd agree about the tires, and I have a set of polished silver Fiamme rims and good tubulars, but they're from my old track bike and are narrow 19c.
My other bike needs tires more right now, eyeing up 27" x 1 Panaracers with the gumwalls.
Currently rewrapping 2500 mile cloth tape, let's say I'm frugal.http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=528440
Same cloth Tressostar as Chrome bike, but this is blue.

Paramount is the King Schwinn, no doubt.
This one was made in Japan and is actually "Schwinn Approved" for whatever that means.
Still, was a thrift store find, turned the corner and there's an all chrome Schwinn! Paramount or not, I'm buying it unless it's got a ridiculous price tag (it didn't)
The C&V guys probably know way more about it, but I think it was built by Nishiki?
All the components are upgraded, the bike is an '81, the parts date 82-86 ish? All good stuff though, as it sits it weighs a hair over 24lbs. Nice all day sport tour geometry, good around town bike.

Seems only 6 carb intake...

I think the owner put some add-ons:

I like the washing machines under the Astana bus!

How do you like all the Oval stuff? Was just looking at a Talon that had all Oval and wondered how it faired.

Geez...close to perfection. Lop of the extra spacer and you're there.

Love the bike. Only thing I'm not crazy about are the red nipples.

I know a bunch will probably not approve the tires but they stick like glue and I like them, this is my new frame.
