Also take a lock nut off the front wheel there is a date stamped in the inner face. You just eliminated most Us and British makers. You are getting closer to knowing who made it.

I spotted the sizes on the BB cup and the seat post and we can now say with 100% certainty, not a Paramount.
Needless to say the mystery deepens on this fine frame and the Campy components which accompanied it! We'll probably never be able to determine why it was decaled as a Schwinn Paramount. It might be the time to start a new thread titled something like
"I.D. this Mystery French Frameset which has Schwinn Decals." I'm guessing many folks who know a great deal about French and Swiss frames see
"Paramount" in the current title and have no interest, and therefore, haven't taken a look.
