Left the factory November 28, 1970. Number 67 of that year.
And yes, the forks are completely chromed with matching serial number.
P13 Racer, 21.5" frameset.
Has been on the road until 2004.
Bike has changed with the times a bit, "Hot Rodded" if you will.
Original Components- bottom bracket (bearings and axle, good stuff), headset, seatpost, shifters, and pedals.
Modifications over the years- Mavic GP4 tubular rims (36 hole), DT straight guage spokes, Modolo brakeset (80's manufacture, were anodized green, but faded over time, during the final restoration they were stripped and polished), Cinelli stem and bars, Campagnolo Super Record driveline, Regina chain and freehub body 12-18 (was a Suntour 12-16 "pinecone of death" for a decade or so).
Bike was owned by my older brother until 1999, now I own the bike, and have finally retired it.
The Paramount has a long, storied career, with thousands upon thousands of miles on the frameset, with a few wrecks to boot.
It still rides perfectly, turns with a steady feel (easygoing, not twitchy) and will still jump when you give it the gas.
