Ready for the Auburn Bicycle Show 2022.  This is my un-restored, original, 1971 Paramount P13-9 that I’ve owned since August 1, 1973.  I am its 2nd owner.  As shown, it is in my “time-trial configuration” with track rims/tires.  So configured, it was ridden in 3 Las Vegas time trials (all in 1974-75)...and never for anything other than the events themselves.

The bike is displayed on my version of Alex Moll’s “tubular” stand that I built in August, 2022 of Black Walnut, Red Oak, and Purple Heart lumber.

Here the finished product. I keep a store of nuts and bolts and was able to get some to work. Also note that because of where I live (Kansas) the high humidity causes rust on steel. My shop does not have heat or air conditioning so the temps and humidity are not controlled. I don’t have the answer but a constant oiling is needed.

In nice condition. Looks to have been worm little if at all.

My father bought a used one the year I was born (four years after this ad ran), and then gave it to me when I got married twenty-two years later.  

It still is in my studio and used daily.

Thanks Dad! (95 years old)
