Well, I went ahead and bought it. I won't get it for a couple of weeks, and I will post pics then. I purchased it from the LBS, who sold the bike originally. I talked to the owner of the shop today, and apparently the original owner was in a bad accident on a different bike, shortly after buying the Paramount. He was unable to ride after the accident, so the bike sat at his moms house till last year when he traded it in on some exercise equipment. It is all original, including tires and Brooks saddle which looks brand new. The entire bike is in excellent condition with only a few very minor paint chips. All the components are in new condition. From what I could tell on the head badge, The last number is an 8. That would make it a 1978? It is really a beautiful bike, and I'm really excited about getting it. Oh, I did get it for $500.00, and it is White, 63cm.
