Court, or others familiar with the Paramount Buell bicycle.......In the move from California to Arizona, the moving company broke the bracket that is the fork brace and front brake cable holder....I took the bike to the cycle shop, and they are saying parts are not available....Any thoughts? I would like to keep it the way it left the factory.....thanks, REX |

Rex, I owned a bicycle shop for ten years (sold it) and can tell you that many shock companies do not keep parts in stock for shocks over three or four years old. I would call shops that have been in business for many years and check with them! |

Post a pic of the broken part if you can. You might also contact Waterford and see if they can help you at all. Waterford is the old Paramount company (sort of anyway). http://www.waterfordbikes.com/ |

let's hope no one chops up this bike to make a recumbant out of it |

RECKLESS redneck recumbants with too high a profit margin! |

Rex: I'll take a close look at my bike when I get home and see if I can help. |

I ride a Waterford. Sweet ride. They have a good reputation for customer service and tend to use build techniques that allow for repair. You can find just about any parts you're looking for online; e-bay and a company called "nuts and small parts" or something like that. I'll see if I can find the name and site address. Post a pic of the bike if you can. sounds interesting. |
