To be honest, this is likely just a flip for me...but De Rosas are pretty special...if someone here has a De Rosa as their grail bike, and intends to keep it...I'll send it to them for price paid and shipping as bike karma. I'm hoping I can work with the frame size, but probably not.
I also might strip it and try trading the frame for one that fits better...we'll see.

Seller reposted it for $180 CDN, if only I had that magic bike enlarger...
Schwinn 1988 Voyageur
"Vintage touring bike equipt with Shimano Deore derailer dia comp cantaleaver brakes ,Sake stem and seatpoast and triple ring Crankset for a total of 18 speeds. It has 3sets of water bottle braze ons , front rack braze ons and it has a rear mounted panier rack.This is a 21" frame with a stand over height of 31" The frame is made very strong with columbus tubing and all joints ar lugged for strength.

The above advice was given with my heart in the right place. It is easy to jump too quick at something and then find out later that what you bought isn't really what you wanted. I am guilty of having an itchy trigger finger, too.

I haven't decided what to do with it. It's far too large for me and the parts are too large for me as well (135-140mm stem, 175mm cranks). I'm leaning towards selling it hole as parting this out seems like a sin.

And warning-- it is a CL "auction"
And one more thing-- I recall seeing a cryptic ad for a paramount a few days back. I wonder if this is the same bike, in the hands of whoever bought it. The original ad is gone, but someone's post challenging the ad is still there:

14 hours to go, seems like a deal. Just have to paint it and find a suitable fork.

Still...it is a heck of a beauty. Given the parts on it, I don't think it's the one that ad reffered to. It most certainly doesn't have cheap parts or crappy lug work. Granted...the seller seems like a schmuck.

So, it's been pretty well "customized", or some would say "butchered".

I'll say this...the seller is a schmuck. I contacted him and his resposne was curt and fairly rude. I still think the bike is a beaut.

Nice looking copper International
**Beautiful 1976 Raleigh International Road Bike Campagnolo** - $600 (Manitowoc)
https://milwaukee.craigslist.org/bik/1879692679.html
Up for sale is a close to mint 1976 Raleigh International Road Bike. I believe it to be a 58cm or 60cm. Built for a taller person. This bike is in immaculate shape for its age. Campy Nuovo parts, beautiful chrome lugs, and Brooks saddle. Wheels and tape are the only things that are not original. I would imagine there is less than 500 miles on this bike. Looking for a good home. Call/text me at 920 645 1626. Delivery is available. Thanks, George

It is a real Paramount for sure. The serial number is Paramount and in the correct location. This bike started out as an original Paramount. Now, don't be too critical of the modifications. It was possible to send a used frame back to Schwinn for repairs, repaint and updates. I have one such Paramount. If a person is interested, contact Waterford and have Richard Schwinn do a research report on the bike. Mine cost $50 back in 2005.

It's not like someone hacked off a Derailleur hanger...they made some very sensible changes and added useful things.
