Ok then!....Methinks I'll just lace up the Gentlemans with the high flange Campy hubs and we're all set!

Thanks for all the comments/advice, etc...

Heck, find some old "Schwinn Approved" stickers, or have some printed up, slap 'em on there, and you're as authentic as Schwinn ever tried to be themselves. Heck, Schwinn made about 8 billion Paramounts during the bike boom, and the anomalies are Legion (semi-Biblical reference for Paster Bob).
