As Robbie well knows, I just picked up the same year Paramount as his (92), only it's a OS-3. Nearly 100% original. It still has all the RX-100 groupo. The bike was filthy but is now almost presentable. Sorry no pics. It has the same decals as Robbie's except it says "3" were his says "2". It's a metalic blue with red specs dotting the frame. It's a tad heavy for a high end bike, but both Robbie and I attribute that to the RX-100 and the Araya wheelset. It's a pretty bike and I'm sorry I don't have pics.
I brought it into the LBS last week to have the pedals removed (stem and seatpost were easily removed, but the pedals were locked in place, go figure). They fawned over it. Everything stopped while the employees and shop owner gave her the once over. BTW, the shop I went to is very C&V freindly. One of the mechanics didn't like the specaled paint from that era. But his comment was, "Hey, it's a Paramount, who cares about the small stuff". Well said.
