Stan...thanks for the info...quick question regarding the model...I thought I read before that one of the distingushing features between a P13 and P10/P15 was the brake cable braze ons on the top tube....if a Paramount had them, it was a P10/15...if not, it was a P13...since my bike has them,
would it be a P15 that's had the crank changed, since the P10 hadn't been introduced yet...or am I just wrong about all this and it is indeed a P13....thanks!

Point taken; my 1971 P13-9 has the three Campy brake cable clamps on the top tube, not the braze-ons that my '72 P15-9 has.

I'm guessing your bike was originally a P15-9 that someone changed the crank from a triple to a double on, or possibly they ordered a P15-9 from the factory with a double.

I dunno...

The '71 P13-9

The '72 P15-9
