Sans the size, that Paramount is worth it at $2500.00 plus. That kind of money is chump change for a chrome Paramount in that condition. I would only seek a P-13 in 21.5" or 22", but even these prices will be fondly remembered as the "cheap times" in about 10 years.

Re-paint and restore a Paramount nowadays, the paint alone runs $800.00.

My new Pinarello frame cost almost double that, and I do not remember complaining very loud. In 40 years it will be worth exactly squat.

The all chrome aspect of the Paramount is a big deal, at least to me.
