The collection is "eclectic," at very best; Larry Black would call it "bottom-feeder's delight" but I know he would happily make space for a few of mine...

'38 Paramount (first year), which I've had for 30 yr, not yet restored, all parts on hand. ride frequently, usually with ASC hub on it. '53 Paramount frameset only. '65 Paramount, formerly all chrome, redone in silver at Waterford after top tube cracked. Lovely bike. I've had it 30 yr, ride it often. '73 Paramount P-15, almost original, first owner is a good friend; I assembled this one new. '50s Schwinn Town & Country tandem, "modernized" about 1970.

'65 Sears Ted Williams Sport Special, Campy Record,... darn near stock '74 Sears all 531 DB and crude; now fixed gear city bike. early 70s Raleigh Competition, stock except saddle/post (anyone like Nervar cranks?)

'73 Cinelli SC, essentially stock, beat up paint, but lovely ride. Bivalents & (when brave) M-71 pedals. '77? Austro-Daimler Vent Noir, all Dura-Ace. '74 +/- Medici Gran Competition or something like that '60s Roma Sport track, FB hubs & Magistroni cranks and rusty all over.

72? SuperVitus orphan, Jubilee & Stronglight 63, HiE wheels - the wife's classic, another bike nearing 30 yr w us.

70s Univega Shimano Aero, not yet built back up (Thanks, Mr. Poore in Slaty Fork!).

US, Austria, England, Italy, France...at least we have most of the majors (sorry about selling that Marinoni, but didn't fit me).
