Thanks to all for the nice comments. I am probably going to eventually sell or part out my 72 P-13 as it is not an original paint job and has had braze ons added. It looks great with genuine Velographic decals, though. elieve it or not, I am going for some diversity here in my fleet. Having a P-15 will help quite a bit, as San Diego has no shortage of hills. This one will hopefully get me up Mt. Soledad, albeit slowly!

I didn't realize that there was so much difference in the frame geometry between models. Since I sold my Raleigh International when I got the chrome Paramount, I haven't really had a true touring frame. I like the riding position on the Paramount a bit better.

One other weird thing is the rear skewer had a Tipo nut on it. I didn't realize why, but now I know it is to fit better with the LeTour derailleur. I thought someone had changed it, but now I don't think so.
