Jock,
If you’re on your Paramount the next time we do a ride, I’m
going to have a hard time keeping up with you. My “heavy”
Rivs are no match for your sleek and gorgeous racer:-)))
A beautiful Georgia weekend to ride!

Thanks, Rob, appreciate the nod!
I was the Waterford marketing guy (catalogs, newsletters, flyers, etc.)
from 2002 / 2004 -- this was a joyful and important time in my life.
Richard and I were / are good pals, with bikes and music in common, all
wonderful stuff.
After I took these photos, I se
JD - neither. It's Japanese, a '71 or '72 Fuji Finest. It was a "rescue"
bike. The fork was trashed, I got a replacement, aligned the frame,
re-spaced the rear dropouts from 126mm to 120 so I could use a Phil hub I
had in the parts box, and repainted it. It now bears Resurrectio decals

Jock:
I worked at a Schwinn shop in 1987 and the mentor who got me started road
riding had a Paramount that (at least in memory) was similar to yours.
So, needless to say, I LOVE your bike.
Such timeless beauty.

I loved 70s maybe best in many ways. Not least of those, the glory days of

Hey, Patrick:
Thanks! I've been riding this bike, mostly as it is, for 34 years or so
now. And it brings me as much joy now, maybe more, than it ever has. That's
a great gift and I'm thankful for the gifts (of any kind actually).
The crank is what makes this thing possible just now. I built thi

catalogues, and it's from the perspective of a young man finding old artifacts
and wondering who those people were. I knew all those people, I can't believe
it was 15-20 years ago!

Actually, it may have been in an email newsletter. I think it was one of Will's
'old photos' discoveries, he's been posting them in emails and on Instagram.

Dig around in the Blahg archives and you'll find some outtakes from that shoot
and a mention of who she is. I'll try to find it later today if you don't get
there first.

I recall the Bridgestone catalogue (aside: I assert that those BBUSA
catalogues were among the best ever, across -- bidniss-speak term -- all
industries and periods) with Robert and an Asian or Hispanic or Mestizo

JD - I still have a road bike that's set up just about like that purple
one, except that the frame and a few of the drive train components are all
from the early 70's. That's my particular nostalgia period and I still
ride the bike occasionally and love the way it handles.

What is the crank?

Here's a little 80s nostalgia for you, I bet some others also feel it on
occasion. When I do, I hop on this and recall those times...and even
further back. It's all good.

Rob, my wistfulness for the 80s is rather broad, encompassing not only bikes,
but music and culture as well as my young adult years.
This period would probably extend into the early 90s.
I had Bridgestone XO-1 I bought new and owned up until a few years ago. I've
followed Rivendell for some time,
The announcement on Riv's Instagram said Bob. I presume he answers to either.

If I remember correctly from the blahg, PB actually goes by Robert, right?
(sorry to nerd out, I think as a Robert myself, I may be more aware of this
than average)
masmojo, surely you at least feel there was some magic in the 90s, since RBW
wasn't even in existence until 94? As a roadie who st
