Author Message   Tucsonxb9s Posted on Friday, July 09, 2004 - 04:02 pm:        Has anyone seen one of these? This looks like the ultimate bicycle for a Buell enthusiast! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=35557&item=248 4117249&rd=1   Bads1 Posted on Friday, July 09, 2004 - 04:05 pm:        Yeah its Don Siegs bike from Ukes Brag club.I don't think its 100% original though.   R1DynaSquid Posted on Friday, July 09, 2004 - 04:34 pm:        He's still trying to sell that thing? Kinda like that Danny Sullivan Buell...always on ebay.   Donsieg Posted on Friday, July 09, 2004 - 11:39 pm:        Yeah, it's mine. The frames were designed by Erik, and the frame is 100% original, Dana. Buyers could get an assembled version or a custom, built-to-specs version. Most were sold as bare frames. Greg, I had this on eBay once a year ago to get a handle on it's value. This is only the second time I've listed it. What can I say - money's tight.   Bads1 Posted on Friday, July 09, 2004 - 11:45 pm:        I'm talking the cranks,Bars, stem,Wheels,and forks are not from the era though.   Donsieg Posted on Saturday, July 10, 2004 - 12:08 am:        correct sir   Court Posted on Saturday, July 10, 2004 - 06:14 am:        If it is helpful, here is a photo of one that is 100% original as delivered from the barn behind the Buell farm on Road "X".   R1DynaSquid Posted on Saturday, July 10, 2004 - 06:20 am:        So only the frame is Buell related? Isnt that like taking a HD frame & putting in an all aftermarket drivetrain & then saying its a Harley?   Donsieg Posted on Saturday, July 10, 2004 - 09:51 am:        That's how it works in the bicycle world. Go to any bike dealer and see that the frame dictates the "brand" on all the high-end models. All the bolt-on parts come from other makers. ...and "Hi Court!"   Midknyte Posted on Saturday, July 10, 2004 - 12:43 pm:        Whazzup with the chain drive?   Midknyte Posted on Saturday, July 10, 2004 - 12:44 pm:        Gotta ask - "Does it have a 6th gear?"   Tripper Posted on Saturday, July 10, 2004 - 01:23 pm:        and the muffler is located above the seat.   Court Posted on Saturday, July 10, 2004 - 02:37 pm:        There were two models in dealers showrooms. Somewhere, and Lord help me if I can find it, I have a couple of the original "guru of motorcycle design" Paramount flyers from that year. I sopped in a bike shop in Shawnee, KS and picked up a couple, wish I'd gotten more. That, for the record, was the FIRST bicycle with suspension. I'm eager to see if anyone here can confirm that. Apparently, Mert Lawill (sp) did one shortly after.   Thunder Posted on Sunday, July 11, 2004 - 12:57 am:        Yes you are correct Court, the Schwinn/Paramount SASS (BUELL) was the first production Full suspension MTN bike. This bikes purpose was for down hill Mtn bike racing.   Two_buells Posted on Sunday, July 18, 2004 - 01:29 am:        I'm the proud new owner!   Court Posted on Sunday, July 18, 2004 - 05:48 am:        Well done Mike....I have mine hanging over my desk and the more I look at it, the more I see. Congratulations and be sure to have Don send you a copy of the story he wrote about the bike. Court
