Bikes: 1939 Paramount Racer, 1959 P12, 1969 P13, 1971 P14, 1972 P13, 1973 P13, 1975 P13, 1986 Paramount, 1939 Superior, 1971 Schwinn Sports Tourer, 1980's Mercian King of Mercia

That is an 83 Superior that's been altered. RD is incorrect, gear cluster shows a lot of grime for 'never been ridden', wrong headbadge. Those Superiors were leftover Paramount frames with a Tange fork, hence the non-matching fork crown. Guess it's OK if you want a used Superior, but it is emphatically NOT a Paramount.

I really get disgusted with all the misrepresented Paramounts on ebay.
