I visited the bike collection being liquidated on CRAIGSLIST today and thought I might pass on some observations. Most of the bikes appear to be 24"(62CM?) way to tall for me , mostly CAMPY with a couple with SHIMANO BUT..........there was at least 4 PARAMOUNTS of various vintage (one CHROME)(62CMs) PARAMOUNT early 60s (55/56M) nice pinstriping PARAMOUNT 50th (56/57CM) MOTOBECANE (62cm) one newer MERCKX (62CM) one RALEIGH competition also tall CONDOR (57CM) with cantilever rear and centerpull front(!?) cut lugs like HETCHINS SPYDER COLNAGO CX (54/55CM) COPPI kids 10spd(looks 70s) with sewups (sleeper of the group at $100) RON KIT(I think KITCHING)

Most of the bikes look well cared for
