Recently picked up this single speed. Originally all white, I repainted the frame in blue. Think it looks much Better against the white components

Schwinn Paramount Series PDG
I believe this Schwinn was manufactured around 1990/1995?

Beautiful Paramount! I lusted after them when I was younger but couldn't afford one then.

Here’s my Schwinn Voyager II. I got it as frame with a few parts on it. Just built it up from my parts bin mostly! New tires, chain, brake pads and bar tape. Rides great!

This is my 77' Ross Eurosport. I updated the brakes and shifters, striped it down and went threw 3 or 4 different paint jobs. She now looks like an updated Hobbs of Barbcain.

Here's my '76 (maybe '79? I forget) Raleigh Record. I picked it up about a year ago from C'List for $40 and started cleaning and rebuilding it.

It had these narrow flat bars installed when I bought it and I rather like them, so they received new grips and brake levers.

I had originally planned on just running the original wheels but they were HEAVY (and a little crooked, too) so I threw these alloy wheels on, with new tires/tubes/strips and new brake pads. I kept the 27x1 1/4" sizing instead of converting to 700C. I also added a 12th speed...28T to 14T in the rear and 40T & 52T front.

Then I broke the plastic body of the front derailleur and couldn't find a replacement, so I machined a new body out of aluminum and used the hardware from the original. I also replaced the OG rear derailleur with a new SunRace unit.

All in all, for a first road bike, I'm really pleased with it! It rides great, it's fast, and it's fun. I'm especially pleased with how the front derailleur turned out, and I don't think I'll ever see another one like it

Very intrigued about your derailleur mod

Very intrigued about your derailleur mod

It was a really fun project! I've got pics somewhere of each step of the machining process. One minor problem is that I didn't take into account the proximity to the rear tire...it doesn't rub but it's close! Close enough that I have to squeeze every bit of air out of the tire to be able to mount/dismount the rear tire. Luckily that's a very infrequent endeavor.
