Incredible bike! How often do you take this out on rides? I'm just a few minutes south of PDX and would love to join next time you guys have a classic rendezvous. Looks like I just missed the one from the other day.

I usually go ride in the Gorge about once a month by myself since I'm slow.

This Paramount doesn't get ridden very much, it would be impossible to replace if anything happened to it. Never seen another for sale or available and its a bit small. I did ride it a few times when I first got it and cleaned it up.
