I always thought that black was the best looking color on a Paramount, perhaps because I bought a black one in '72. But this one just doesn't look "right" to me. I wouldn't get too carried away making a frame with a non-original color scheme all kitted out with "correct" components. It's already wrong, so why not just accept it? Build it up with some vintage components and have fun riding it. At that price, it's already cost too much money.
