Maybe if someone would buy my tubular set on eBay (wink wink) I'd be okay...

Try to find some nice Italian bar and stem, but if not go with the nitto. I mean **** the frame and fork were hand-made in Belgium, it just doesnt get any better than that.

This is my 'new' 1975 Schwinn Paramount track bike. The only original component still on it is the Campy Record bottom bracket, but it did have on it the nice Campy record track 165 crankset. I put on: a vintage white leather Selle Concor saddle; a Campy Centaur seatpost;and white Kieren style grips; Iro front break; Panaracer tan sidewall tires; Sylvan track pedals. The bike came with Weinmann wheelset, probably from the 80s, and the Nitto stem and bars -- future upgrades but for now I've spent enough and I'm just going to enjoy riding it!

Top tube protectors always looked pretty stupid to me....two of 'em just makes a bike look like the cycling equivalent of those plastic, rounded-point scissors you had back in preschool. Nice grip color, though.

Shants, did you cut off part of your Oury grips? I was about to cut the inside edge of mine. It looks like you beat me to it. The green combos look great. Show some more photos.

Sashae: NICE Grand Mighty crankset. I'm thinking about picking up a set from EAI in the next couple of months, but don't know what chainring I'm going to go with yet...

You just need some purple for the championship colors.
