But I've just enough left to possibly carbonize my Paramount Ti. I'm gonna' make a Rose Bowl killer out of that steed. SmileWavy |
One of the best riding bikes I ever owned! Schwinn Paramount Ti, hand crafted by Serrotta. Wish I never sold it!
Good luck with your carbon freshen up! ND |
It is funny that the 3 posters above and mysef haunt the same bicycle forums as well (Hi Saratoga Springs!)

Hey George you ridin' fool!!!
How did the Richard Sachs bike ever turn out? Have any pics? Be well, ND |

I mean, as stands, the Paramount, fully kitted, is only 8 kilos. 7.5 kilos, maybe 7 can happen (maybe). :) |

BTW: question for you Serotta guys: is all that triple butting such as on the Ottrott that much of an improvement over straight gauge Ti. The Ottrott is really something with its tapered tubes -- larger at the head and narrowing as it approaches the seat.
I just question the viability, you know. |
The Ottrott is a beautiful frame but, to fully take advantage of it , you need to have it built for you. when you get sized, its not just measurements of your body. Its your weight, riding style(masher vs spinner), the roads you will ride. The tubes are tapered to improve the efficiency of the ride. Stronger where it needs to be, thinner etc...

Hi Nikita,
Turned out perectly. I did a lot of miles with it already. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1266212431.jpg |
Hey George,
Did you sell all your stems? I think I need a 100mm, not a 130mm. Nice Sachs btw. Is that a 1 1/8 headset?The stem on that looks like a Ibis Ti. :) |

Are the hammerheads at the bowl up to race speed yet in mid Feb? |

That Sachs is absolute porn.
(I guess kids these days lust over electronic Dura-ace, but it ain't the same to me.) |

Butted steel, bar shifters, Brooks saddle. Definitely a keeper bike. :) Funny how I keep reading articles on how steel is a material that cannot yield high-speed/racing results in cycling. I find I'm as fast on steel than Ti. I don't know about c/f, but I couldn't see being that much faster. |
