64 Paramount rider

[fatbike]

This has been a great rider, I built and spec it this about 4-5 years ago with some great parts and did a cold set rear at 135mm to fit a Chris King buzz single speed hub. there has been some repairs done withe top tube and braze ons added on the wrong side for the brake cable, so I didn't feel bad making this bike the way I wanted it. It is pretty practical around town and commuted this bike 365 days a year for a good 3 years, it is now semi retired; I built a 82 Trek 710 full Reynolds 531as my new daily commuter.

VO hammered, they have held pretty well and did a littler repair on the rear, but I would like to replace them eventually with Honjo guards.

Thank you, VO rack, the best thing besides having a custom one built; these work well.

Thank you. These old well build frames are great for todays riding if you update the bike. Reynolds 531 stays and fork absorb the road well and light weight enough plus strong. Building vintage road bikes with a mixture of years done tastefully is the way to go for me.
