I picked up this Paramount from the original owner yesterday for what i think is pretty cheap $400.He went to Trek and bought a mountain bike.He said this bike has been hanging in the garage for over 30 yrs.He said he bought it in the late sixties but with the serial number [d73335] I think it is a 1973 frame assembled in 1974.It is very dirty and covered with 30 years of preservative{dirt].The lugs are still shiny under the dirt and the Silver mist color still shines where cleaned.the chain was stuck to the chainring from grease.I pumped the tubulars up to 100 psi and they didnt pop although the front went flat overnight.I am trying to figure out if its a p-10 and age.Need help. Will start complete strip down next week if possible.the components are:
Campy=seat stem
cable guides
rear der.=nuovo record
front der.=campy
hubs
axles
pedals
shifters
crank
42-52 chainring
