Thanks for the additional information. What threw me off was the split right chainstay cable stop. I was the original owner of a 1972 P13 (serial #J7271), and for the life of me I thought mine had a different cable stop. I sold it in 1975, and moved on. I did get a new custom Brian Baylis this year with a finish that is somewhat of a tribute to the original Paramounts. It has a monochromatic paint job along with chrome Nervex Pro head lugs and painted seat lug. Otherwise the bike is more like a vintage Masi.
