Long Beach Motorcycle Swap Meet (Bicycles Too)

Beautiful cruiser


Schwinn Paramount with full Campagnolo. This curved seat tube (short-coupled) model was available in 1975 - 1978. Built for criterium races or for riders who wanted the quicker handling that a shorter wheelbase provides, these are more rare than the standard models form this era. 


The vendor selling this Paramount asked $1,200, but was willing to accept offers. I have a rule that I don't collect bikes that don't fit me, plus this one isn't on my list of "must-haves" so I passed on it. 

Nice Frejus for $500. 




This swap meet is held monthly at Veteran's Stadium in Long Beach, California. This is primarily a motorcycle swap, but there are about two dozen bicycle vendors, as well. The majority of the bicycle spaces are filled with balloon tire or BMX bikes. I was hoping for vintage steel racing bicycles, but there were very few - not worth the $10 admission price for the swap, but no regrets... had to check it out and it was nice to stroll around hoping to find some deals. 

If you love motorcycles, this swap is for YOU. Here's the website for it. Enjoy!

1987 30th Anniversary - Dave Moulton Fuso











Bought this Fuso from the original owner. This is all-original, no part substitution except the bottom bracket. The owner installed a sealed BB about 20 years ago. It's in immaculate condition - even the bar wrap is original and in great shape. You can find a lot of great information on Dave Moulton's frames, his life, his achievements, on his blog HERE
