I will preface and say I love the old school stuff but I really don't like mixing a threadless headset and a lugged steel frame. It just looks wrong. I also don't like the idea of a Paramount remake. I have owned Paramounts in the past and loved those bikes but the remake is a reminder to me of what happened to Schwinn which is awful really and the frame you show isn't anywhere as elegant as earlier Paramounts with threaded quill stems. The lugs on those frames look like something Liberace would ride...overly ornate. Rad's Pinny captures the retro bike look for me.
