I'm thinking about that on a recent purchase. A 1974 Paramount, though not in the best condition it appears to be all original. I haven't got it yet, but I think the only thing not original is the brake levers. All the catalogs show the brake levers with the turkey wing lever, I have a set of schwinn approved levers I'm thinking about using.I usually take those off and upgrade the levers, first time I'll be replaceing the levers with these.
