I think it may be a Super Le Tour 12.2 as Norskagent suggested above. I have a 25" chrome Voyageur 11.8 and I notice three differences right off the bat.
  • Slightly different HT lugs
  • Different fork crown (might not be original fork - nothing else is!)
  • Voyageur 11.8s did not have bottle cage bosses (no 11.8s that I've seen)

But here's the deciding factor. What is the diameter of the stem?

So it's not a Paramount. It is a fully-chromed, chromoly frame. Nice pickup!

edit: The dropouts are different too. 11.8s have forged dropouts with threaded eyelets. One of my 11.8s dropouts were Tange, but the chrome one's dropouts are unmarked.
