Dear list, This bike belongs to Mike Rodregez (sp), I don't remember the name of his bike shop on Washington Ave. in Brooklyn. This bike belonged to my friend Erroll Frazer of Ocean Parkway. Errol steered and I rode stoker VERY fast downhill sprints in Prospect Park at 6:30 a.m many days. Oh about 60 mph. When I first saw her, she was white. I repainted her light blue for Erroll. He was killed in a scuba diveng accedent about 8 years ago and the family sold off all his stuff. I ended up with Erroll's chrome Schwinn Paramount track bike (sold through Mike's shop to some guy who thought it was pretty, who then put it up on e-bay where I bought her). It was Sime's bike for the National team. Mike had the bike repainted to this orange color. This tandem was built for the Pan Am trials, in 62 I think. What a bike!
