Reader Brian Conner, of Fountain Hills, Arizona, sent these photos of his recently completed retro restoration project.  He writes, 

My restoration project is finally done. Here are pics of my 1986 Waterford Schwinn Paramount. I sent the frame to Waterford for a refinish in the original "Neon Orchid" color. Every part on the bike is NOS Super Record. Other NOS items include: Selle Italia Turbo Saddle, Benotto Tape, Cinelli bar and stem, Mavic GP4's, and Alfredo Binda Straps. This is a recreation of my first Campy equipped bike that I bought in high school. As soon as the tires are stretched, I'll glue them up and take it for a ride down memory lane.
