Hi Rich, Thanks for viewing the photos! Yes, it does ride pretty nice, but I really prefer the ride and feel of a vintage Italian designed frame. Embarrassed to say that I only have about 30 miles on this bike since I purchased. Thought about selling it because my philosophy is, "if you don't use it, then sell it", but this is such a pretty Paramount example, I must hold onto it! Paramounts can be nicely built, and again in an amateur ugly manner --- this one is one of the cleanest built that I have ever seen --- and I saw quite a few working in the local Schwinn shop in the early 1970s!!! Remember unloading train boxcars full of Schwinns sold during the bike boom era --- just happy that I was a teen in high school, still strong enough to lift all those heavy Krates and Varsitys!!! Regards, Kevin Kruger - Grantville, PA
