Greetings Sisters and Brothers of CR ! God help us all ! I was blessed and bought this chrome Paramount http://ebay.com/<blah> outside of ebay and had it sent to our pal Bob Freeman's shop there in Seattle. His vast expertise advised me against trying to build a Quad TA crank! out of the Paramount's exising TA triple. How to make a TA quad crank??? Bob said expensive and rare parts? Suggestions? My dream is to drive to C de C this year and pick up my 1952 chrome Rene Herse hellenic 650b,RHerse stem, bars and detachable bag,'57 Stronglight crank with TA rings, hammered LeFol fenders with both lights, that de' boss Dale Brown is safekeeping and restoring for me. RHerse pix is on brother Marc Bulgier's website http://bulgier.net/pics/bike/CoolBikes/Herse/Hellenic_SS_top.jpg I'll bring this '72 chrome Paramount 'Constructeur' with gold Mavic stem and bars, gold Mafac brakeset and Simplex derailleurs, chrome fenders,racks and lights for the 'lowrider' category at C de C's 'American' theme this year. I'll be sleeping in my minivan in the Battleground Inn parking lot because of sold out beds!! and no money left either! I'm dreaming of C de C..... God's peace, Steve Kistler in Oklahoma City
