I picked up Performance Paraola touring bike a few weeks ago. I think it is a 1992. It is kind of a cross between a hybrid and a road touring bike. It has drop bars (ironically labeled "Hybrid"), dual pivot side pull brakes, bar end shifters, and aero brake levers like a road bike. It also has all the rack and fender braze-ons that you expect on a touring bike, including front low rider mounts. The frame has a sloping top tube, unicrown fork and 135 mm spacing and the front derailleur is labeled "for Hybrid". All I know is that I like the ride. I swapped the crank for a BioPace to get the 175 mm arms and a taller stem to dial in the fit and I am really happy with how it turned out.
Edit: The frame is Tange Infinity Double Butted Cro-Moly, welded, not lugged. Fork is also Tange Cro-Moly. Added Pictures.
