Might be considered a good deal by 50th Anniversary fans. Can’t assess condition from pictures.

Something strange here!

Weren’t all Altrons 7000 series aluminum? Seat cluster doesn’t match anything I’ve ever seen in pix.

Interesting, no info about size or serial number. Frame looks right for an 83. So, may not have a Waterford serial number. A Franken build?

Despite crummy pictures, this looks interesting. If it was closer, I would check & probably buy.
Possibly from a small builder or someone‘s frame building class project.

Hi,
Any ideas on the model of the Raleigh? Interesting lugs, but that kickstand plate degrades it.

Another weird one

Too many mis-matched parts. Was there ever a Paramount with internal cable routing? No written description & one crummy picture that doesn’t show any component details.

Seems like a huge premium for the seller’s sentiment value. Doesn’t look very well taken care of & with no decals. He is about 4X on the price.

If this tandem is anything like the Gitane version that I had, it may not be a bargain. The Gitane was extremely whippy carrying less than 300 lbs. Replaced with Santana.
