Jim, So, does Billato still make frames, or who? Why would it be "a troll?" If not made by Alberto, who? Haro owns Masi, right? Schwinn's out here in Madison, Pacific Bicycles. Hey, maybe they'd like to make some Paramounts again; I wonder if I'd do it any different than Tim Isaac. I liked his version, I really did. And the metal-flake paint was the way to go. I dig the old style down tube emblem too. Yowza. Joe Starck Madison, Wisconsin p.s. Whats "MotorRef@poeplepc.com?" That's new to me.
