Gorgeous red! I like how you weren't afraid to execute a Paramount in a non-traditional manner (Painting over the chrome Nervex lugs? Newer fork? . The result is very good, and everything ties together nicely. It looks like a factory re-issue + modernization that companies do--all the lugged beauty and new paint (or PC), with all the modern fast and convenient bits. Gives me more confidence in my restorative efforts on my Paramount, which will not be traditional. I like the all-black tires, personally. Beautiful bike--enjoy it!
