Thanks for the replies. SN is E74169. As for the paint job, I suspect that the lugs and rear stays may not have been chromed; when I spoke to Waterford a while back about a possible reapint, they said "We can only save the chrome if there is chrome to save" which implies that not all Paramounts were chromed equally. But yeah, I have no idea the history of the work done on the bike, so it could have been done (ruined) by some random shop. The quality of the internal routing job leads me to believe it was at least done by a competent shop. The worst part is, someone tried to pinstrip the lugs, but obviously did a poor job and had to remove it...good idea, poor execution.

Definitely not a collector's piece, but a nice riding bicycle nonetheless. Anyway, just wanted to make sure y'all didn't think I was on crack. I'll list it for $650 and see what happens (I'm in Houston, the market is decent. Not Portland, but decent).
