I don't think the Paramount was a production bike in the time frame the OP was talking about, but I'm not sure. At Trek, we had to build 30 main triangles or assemble 30 rear triangles to a front triangle per day. But the tubes were already mitered and the chainstay was assembled to the seat stay. I never built any forks there, I vaguely recall Mike Appel did all of them at that time. And then the guys that did all the finishing work would bend them in big batches. Realistically, we were probably putting out 5 painted frame/forks per 8 labor hours or something like that. I wonder if they even knew that when I was there, the management was inexperienced. I always thought the best example of that was the 300 model. Exactly the same amount of labor, the tubes cost $5 less, and the bike was a lot less expensive. Probably not worth building except maybe as a loss leader.
