Upgrading Custom Paramount OS....
Alan wrote: I have a Paramount OS that was made for me in 1991. The frame is in great shape. I am trying to understand if it is possible to upgrade to integrated brake levers/shifters from shifters on the tube. I don't necessarily want to buy all new Dura stuff, too $$$. My bike has a mixture of Dura-Ace and Ult.600 with a seven speed cassette. I have been told Shimano makes the equipment to accommodate the 7 speed cassette, but it is not of the highest quality components. I think it is called Sora. I have also been told that it is possible to spread the stays (not permanently) in the back to accommodate a wheelset that would normally fit a bike with a 130mm spread and therefore a 10 speed cassette. Mine is spaced at 125mm. Getting a new wheelset seems the best stratedgy, but does it really work? Any thoughts or questions would be great! Alan |
