Done. But, note that I've only owned 1 Paramount, and generally know nothing about them. I sent the following email:


Thought I'd give some feedback, since you asked for input. The bike is definitely not a Paramount. It's a lower-end, low-grade steel frame. If you look at the rear dropouts (and also the front), you'll see that they're thin stamped steel. A Paramount would have thicker dropouts, forged steel, with a name branded on them. A Paramount, or any higher-end racing frame, would not have an integral welded-on kickstand plate, they never used kickstands. Never. Also, the numbers on the bottom-bracket shell (beneath the frame) DO mean something, and that format of serial numbers with all numerals, has never been used on any Paramount frame, they have a unique system guaranteed to allow you to tell what it is. There's other ways to tell, since Paramount frames have tubing material which is different from lower-end bikes, but it involves partial disassembly in order to look inside the tubes for tell-tale signs of the material type. Also, there's not any component on it that would have come on a Paramount, none.

I'm a vintage bike enthusiast, throwing in a bit of input for you. If you wanted, you could look at the replies generated in Bikeforums.net, on your bike with the below link. It's an international bike forum, with thousands of members, and they concur that it's not a Paramount. Mike J
