Very cool. I found out another friend who has Alzheimer's, is getting worse, he had a few really cool bikes, that i posted here before. While he talked about selling them in the past, he never really acted like he wanted to sell, but I can check with his wife if anyone is interested http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1608249679.jpg

That bike has the 50th Campy and I’m sure you know that it is very valuable, but just thought I would mention it so your friend or his wife doesn’t get taken advantage of.

Not only that, but it is a 50th Anniversary Schwinn Paramount. Actually, he has 2 50th Anniversary Paramounts, he was also crew chief for Brumos when they won the Super Cup championship, as well as I think, crew chief of the year.
But thanks

Hi Byron,

I figured you knew- I bet you’ve forgotten more about bike stuff than I have ever known!

I thought that those looked like Paramounts- super cool.

I was a teenager when the 50th came out and drooled over a set in the showcase of my favorite bike shop. Fast forward and I was looking forward to a 75th anniversary set and nope, they just put out a nice book and then made an 80th that wasn’t much different than the normal stuff, so I passed.

Take care and best wishes to your friend,
Rutager

Thanks for posting those photos Byron... That classic is just super.

I'd ride that just the way it is. :)

And something a bit special for Byron. (from the same collection)
I don't know much about these type of bike but my friend said this one is worth about $12,000 USD.

Just received an email....My Propella 4.0 7 speed e-bike is on it's way...UPS :)

Prob take the best of a week...maybe the snow will be gone by then!

Anyone ever tried installing a motor on a typical older MTB? I bought an elec. bike for my younger son since he was having a hard time keeping up with me on my road bike. Now he's kicking my ass. My lazy ass, gaming, older boy wants to come out with us now. He has an old fashion Diamond Back MTB so I need to convert that to elect assist.

My younger, 13, climbs like a freaking monkey. Likes hills. I took him on a one mile hill around the house. He went up it without any real training or riding and no shortness of breath. I don't think he actually breathed? We did it twice. Now, I really want him to start riding seriously. I need a training partner.

My newest ride, for when I can ride again http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1613778412.jpg

^^^ Doesn't look like Florida..

I think I bought a new bike!!!!!!

I was just perusing the internet and came across this. Vintage Trek 8500 mtb frame. Vintage marzocchi fork. small size. I spy parallelogram pedals and potentially a very nice xt/lx shimano crankset. Metro slicks, and an obsolete drivetrain with cogs so thick it will outlast armageddon.

My daughter is outgrowing her 20 inch bike, and this is a little big for her, but my wife would fit it, and, heck, it even fits me in it's current seat up/big handlebar form.

THIS IS A NEIGHBORHOOD BOMBER!!!!- Hence the marzocchi bombers. I can't wait!!!! Unlike air forks, spring zokes just keep getting better, like an old guitar!
(In other news- my daughter just rode my wife's specialized roubaix. She might not even want the Trek.)- It's good to be a dad! :)

The price was right. Daughter approved (she'll grow into it). I'll see it tomorrow. I feel as excited as Baz and his new volvo! :D

I like those Aluminum Treks (tanks!) I converted one of the Al 1100 Road frames to a single speed to get around the neighborhood and I really like the way it rides!

Clean, safe, too cheap to meter.
