The specs for all of the PDG Series road Paramounts appearing in the early nineties catalogs say, "Paramount Design Group/Tange OS Triple-Butted" tubing for the frames, implying that PDG and Tange had worked jointly to develop the tubes. The forks were "Tange, Chrome-Moly, Unicrown."
I thought so- but that tag at the bottom of the seat tube looks like it could be a Columbus sticker- I recall those tags being higher. But, of course, looking at the other pic you posted, it's at the bottom as well...
I briefly had a PDG Series MTB. It didn't have a number designation- but it had been pillaged for parts, and when I got it, the seat tube was cracked around one of the seat stays, it was crudely covered up with spray paint. But it had the cool PDG decals...
