Maybe some day the WWInterWeb will finally have some of that old paper-based info that was once common to a bikeshop's shelf or work bench. I fear a lot of it is turning to mulch in land fills, lost forever. I'm grateful to sites like Mark Bulgier's and CR that preserve what they have for us. On a sidebar, this Paramount shows the lug-lining that got some mention in the CR list recently, notice that the paint is just a hair's distance away from the edge of the lugs, letting a thin line of the base-color paint show. Reportedly this was the signature of one of the painters that worked for Paramount for many years, and though the CR lister couldn't recall his name, he was reknowned for his fine work. Folks like that can get "lost" over time, too, it's a pity if they do.
