Oh, and bravo to those cantilever brake posts; for some reason, I completely overlooked them at first. A pretty nice build with quite a traditional character to it with exception to that color.

Peter similarly rescued a oddball Motobecane last year. The Paramount was all but trashed - Peter didn't at first think he'd even be able to save it. Not worth a full period restoration, so Peter decided to use it to do something Schwinn might have done back in the day in the way of a "cyclotourist" bike but didn't. Peter's sensibilities tend towards the French (as is pretty evident) - that green may be more of a constructeur shade.
