But getting some period correct jewelry on the bike makes sense, and I find myself not minding reverting back to that on certain frames or just keeping what's original (but in great shape) on there, like with my Voyageur SP. This Paramount will 99.999999% not be having that done as I see DA 9000, the wheels, etc as that frame/bike in its best form. IF, and that's a big (and dangerous, haha) if...IF I had to put something on it, I would go full crazy person and have the bike painted a deep candy red metallic with near-black metallic decals, put essentially NOS-level Accushift Plus-era Superbe Pro with the hubs laced to mint MA40 rims, with silver seatpost/stem/bars/headset. Tan wall tires of course. I've seen nearly this exact bike, but in a much smaller size, a number of years ago. Stars in my eyes, let me tell you, even if the braking performance is nowhere near 7800/7900/9000.
