Yeah, apparently you could order the track Paramounts without the chrome lugs and save 50 bucks! I think mine is a '75, but since it was being repainted, I wanted the '73 and earlier seat tube graphics.
Adjustable stems were common on track bikes, but you can see the stayer is quite long. I imagine bikes were shared, but also allowed adjustment for different events, periods of time, conditioning.
