Give me some credit here.... When you come across a bike that is 30+ years old (like the 72' paramount) you are never going to know the complete history. In my case, I am dealing with a private collector who has many bikes, and in most cases is not the original owner of these bikes. I found out as much information as I could from him, and I did the rest of my homework on the internet. I know this is a 72' and I know that it is in better condition than most bikes 30 years newer. By no means do I consider myself an expert on vintage bikes - that's why I came here. Thanks for all of your input.
