Bikes: 1972 Schwinn Paramount, 2009 Cannondale Six Carbon 3

Need help - just bought a 1972 Schwinn Paramount

Hi everyone - just today I bought a 1972 Paramount p13. It appears to have most of the bits that appear on the 1972 Schwinn order form with these exceptions:

- sidepull breaks with no markings other than "Gran COMPE" (corrected)
- Aluminum clincher rims marked "UK Al 700c Made in Japan"
- Avocet hubs
- Zefal hp frame-mounted pump.

The bike is VERY clean - little use based on condition of frame and components. I'm just curious about these pieces that i don't see referenced elsewhere in the forum or on order form. Please help if you can. If you can direct me to a database or 1972 catalogue showing components that would help too.

Thanks,
Tom
