Built up this resto-modded Paramount PDG50 last summer and I have only ridden it a few times. It's slightly too small for me, as I was hoping it would be manageable but I'm moving a different direction for my commuter. Here's a parts breakdown...

Frameset:
-- Paramount Series 50 PDG -- Tange Prestige butted tubing (18.5" c-c / 20" c-t / 23" TT c-c)
-- Paramount Series 50 PDG fork -- G Force Cr-Mo tubing
-- Shimano Deore XT 1-1/8" threaded headset (silver)
-- Hyacinth Crystal Ship front rack (raw finish)

Wheelset:
-- DT Swiss 350 hubs front and rear (32 hole QR - also center lock disc brake compatible if you ever wanted to re-use the wheels elsewhere)
-- DT Swiss double-butted stainless spokes (3x lacing pattern)
-- Velocity Cliffhanger hard anodized rims front and rear
-- Panaracer SimWorks Super Yummy skinwall tubeless tires front and rear (26 x 2.22")
-- Reserve tubeless rim tape
-- Reserve Fillmore tubeless valves
-- Stans tubeless sealant

Drivetrain:
-- SRAM GX Eagle AXS rear derailleur
-- SRAM GX Eagle 10-50T 12 speed cassette
-- SRAM GX Eagle chain 12 speed
-- SRAM DUB 68/73mm Threaded BB
-- SRAM X1 Carbon Eagle 148 DUB crankset, 32T

Brakes:
-- Shimano XTR M950 v-brake calipers (parallel push - so buttery!)
-- Shimano XTR cable set


Cockpit:
-- SimWorks front loader stem (100mm) -- can swap for a similar Paul or Thomson stem if you prefer
-- Nitto Hunter Cycles smooth move riser bar (silver, 31.8 clamp size)
-- Shimano XTR M950 v-brake levers
-- SRAM GX Eagle AXS controller
-- PNW Components loam grips (tan)
-- Nitto 26.8 silver seatpost
-- WTB Silverado Ti saddle
-- Spank Spike Reboot flat pedals

I'm a former bicycle mechanic and this one was built properly -- faced and chased all threads, greased + anti-seized where appropriate, torqued / tensioned / tuned to spec. I haven't added up what I spent on this thing, but it's well over the asking price. It's a wonderful blend of modern tech (12 speed AXS drivetrain) and vintage cool (XTR brakes, etc) -- rides like a dream, just too small for me and taking up space. Help me help you!

Cash or Venmo face to face -- will include the Outer Shell handlebar bag and deliver within 100 miles of SF at full asking price.
