was there another one ? I thought the bike that set the record was the "red devil" (red in color) and had a different massive sprocket on it.

... maybe that one was the pace bike :mrgreen:

The record bike was a red Paramount. I know one of the "coffee table" bike books has a pic of an all chrome one, but it says it's a copy. Guess they made a few! -Adam

Hey! That's on my blog right now, as a "prank" to my Bro in law's Trans-Iowa bike. I saw the red one, or a copy of it, at Navy Pier in Chicago about 15 years ago. I can't believe there is enough chain wrap in back to make it work. 96 teeth! Later! http://www.gravelo.blogspot.com
