    1991 "Paramount" PDG-70 build

    Pretty pleased to have finished (almost..) my first actual vintage build. I've been interested in early 90's MTBs since pretty much when they were current, and have been lurking here for ages, but this is my first actual build. Story of the bike is a bit random, I never was particularly into...

    How important is period correct cable?

    The 1991 Paramount PDG restoration is coming along. I decided to replace the cables with new stuff with orange housing to match the orange spatter/highlights on the frame. Just basic Jagwire OEM quality stuff, my guess was that this would be comparable to cable from days of yore. I do realize...

    Anyone have details on how the Avocet 30 cyclocomputer magnet ring works?

    I recently picked up an Avocet 30 at a garage sale - always wanted one of these classic cyclocomputers, and it's perfect for my PDG70 project. Problem is, it seems that there is something wrong with the magnet ring (or, at least, that's my best guess). These computers don't use the simple...

    How to shine up old anodized aluminum?

    I'm finally working on my first retro 'restoration'... a 1991 Paramount PDG70. It's not the most sought after bike but it has a Japanese (I think) built Tange Prestige frame and full M735 Deore XT with thumbshifters, and nearly all original working parts. My plan is to build it into a period...

    Does anyone have a vector or hi-res image of the original Brodie logo?

    There's an .eps file floating around the web, but it's poor quality and not an accurate representation of the logo. And the newer Brodie bikes logo is more in italics. I know someone created replica stickers a few years back, but not sure if they're still active. Thanks! Robin

    Brodie Sovereign - beautiful but $$$$

    Noticed this one. It certainly looks nice. Listing says frame is size L but it looks really big (for the era). Long head tube. https://www.ebay.com/itm/266083337481 Priced for the well heeled collector I guess :p
