发帖数: 893 | 3 I bought my paramount two years ago and thought I am done with the vintage
thing. but it was too big for me and the racy geo was too twitchy. but this
is wonderful and the geo is exactly the same as my MASI (my other steel long
distance road bike). I like the paint theme and the rather classic look (
with silver parts). |

发帖数: 893 | 10 will post pictures once the bike is build. I only paid $120 a scratched
frame. I do have a fork and headset. I still need quite a few parts. some
them are gonna be costly. but I will hand build the wheel set from the start
. first time for me.
I finished the three mains and the sub. will post a picture tomorrow. four
pairs of bookshelf speakers (surround, bedroom, 2*desktop) in line to be
build. haven't had chance to work on them yet now that my wife is due july
6th!
no money for projector at this point (you should know that from that kind of
bikes I am riding :). |

发帖数: 893 | 12 true! my goal is to buy all parts needed asap. so that I least I can say I
HAVE this really cool new bike. the fact I can't ride it is whole different
matter.
I will need to finish the bedroom speakers though, so that my baby can
continue his Mozart education.:)

发帖数: 893 | 14 just did a quick calculation. my new single speed will still be about 16.6
pounds with pedal and bottle cages. it will be the lightest bike I will have
. but man, building a sub 15lbs isn't easy! |

发帖数: 1269 | 15 The Zurich certainly holds a very special place in model steel frame history
. Looking good in that white.
Make sure you post a full bike picture soon (drive side view.... with chain
in the big ring... with less than 1" of spacers... with the right amount of
cables ... with tire logo next to the valve... with the valve cap taken off.
.. OK, I'll shut up) |

projectors by looking at the kind of bikes he is riding. :-)
BTW, I just got myself an EPS in 52 trad, matt black...

发帖数: 893 | 18 I know! I was a happy man when I won that frame. and then seriouly
disappointed when the frame came as it was in terrible shape and also dented

, I will eventually get my real dream bike: gunnar street dog!
