Congrats on your finds, Bill. You may want to put some mileage on the series 3 before doing any cool modifications. Myself and others, have found the Series 2 and 3 bikes to be somewhat uninspiring. The Waterford and the Series 5 and 7, however, are probably nothing short of delightful! I would prefer a mid-late eighties Waterford to any of the earlier Paramounts.
