Here's the 1999 Paramount/Peloton/Circuit geometry (too bad the proofreaders couldn't spell Paramount):
That is very interesting, I did not know this, thanks for the information. So, the Pelotons were not hand-built I suppose but still, the only other difference would have been the lugs. I really loved how that bike rode...
