Thanks T-Mar!
So I take it the 1 is for 81, and the L is for Dec. Yeah, tried to source an original fork for it, but gave up, original owner spent quite a bit for the new fork from Bianchi, so just matched the Celestes with the repaint.
Original frame, and replacement fork was given to me by a local mech, on the condition that I build it up and ride it.
Overall quite pleased with it, only notice the fork when I look down. Had an Asian paramount prior, so while not my ideal, I got used to the look. That bike was a great ride also
Thanks again, Tim

1992 Series 5 Paramount
