What a great job you did! I love the honey saddle and bar tape.
Many, if not most, of the early eighties Superior framesets were built by Don Mainland in Racine, Wisconsin, using 531 tubing and Nervex Professional lugs from inventory left over from Chicago Paramount production after Ed Schwinn closed down the Chicago cage and moved Paramount production to Waterford.
Don had built many of the early seventies Paramounts under a production contract with Schwinn. His brazing skills were superb, and any sloppy lug shorelines or file marks stand out like a sore thumb on chrome plated frames, so most of the framesets destined to be fully chromed were brazed by him.
Congratulations.
