So, I picked up a mid 80's paramount last weekend from an awesome seller for a decent deal. The bike is in good shape, some paint chips here and there, a smidge of rust, but it fits like a dream and rides wonderfully. It came with an eclectic mixture of components (some are pictured), not sure what I am going to put on it. I have a 7 speed DA group (minus FR) that would fit the 126 rear, but I also have most of an 8 speed Sora STI mixture if I want to stretch it out. OR I could remove the 10 speed 105 from my fuji regis. Too many decisions.
The serial number on the BB is T 560. Not sure what the T is for, but it is a size 56. I cannot read the number on the dropout. Could this have been a repaint? Should I pick some of the pain off the dropout to get the number or just live without finding its full background? There is also no sticker telling what kind of steel is used, either peeled off or repainted without it.
Anyway, I am just stoked about the frame. Going to remove the BB (spanner is on its way!) and wax her up. I will post more pictures in the future, if school ever gives me a breather. Hopefully the pictures come up, I have had trouble before:
