Coolio's,
A collector local to me has a very nice fillet brazed Paramount track bike on ebay that ends soon. Swiss thread? European Paramount? Just wondering if it may be a local made marque or perhaps a US Paramount that found it's way to these shores. In any case it's a nice bike and whilst it's not impossible to send a whole bike overseas it is expensive and a lot of work, so I understand why the seller is offering it for Aussie's only.
Well worth checking out !!!!
The seller (Roger) is a good guy and has has asked to trade (or would
like to buy) ...

Roger's email address is roger.rabbit1964@yahoo.com.au
Feel free to contact him if you have something to suit or trade. I know he doesn't want a 170mm left side strada arm ... the pista stamping is important to make his Raleigh perfect. I'm just a a hook up but am happy to help if something gets lost in translation.
I should advise that i'll be bidding on the bike. I'd be stupid not to :)
