Dennis Stone sold this 23" 1959-60 Paramount about 5 years ago. It was almost all original. I would have loved to bought it if it were my size - 22".

I think that these were Oscar Egg lugs rather than Nervex.

[MENTION=61614]verktyg[/MENTION] thanks for posting the '59-60 Paramount. Stunning! The front Weinmann caliper is similar to the ones which came on my '62 Continental, minus the QR.

Chas., I think those are the 2nd generation "horns" Nervex Professional lugs.

That is gorgeous... AND my size!

[MENTION=38510]Scooper[/MENTION],

Several reasons why I thought they may be Oscar Egg lugs...

From Classic Lightweights:

"The first Nervex Pro lugs were produced with a vary fine pair of ‘horns’ at the centre-front of the two head lugs. Later on the lugs were changed slightly and the ‘horns’ (left) were replaced by a ‘fishtail’ (right). This newer design was certainly in use by 1955..."

The seat lug on that 1959-60 Paramount is different from Nervex lugs I've seen. (See Nervex Pro #49 lugs on 1961 Paramount at the bottom)

Bossi and Ekla made lugs like those too so it's hard to tell.


Richard Schwinn gave a great presentation at Stone's Cyclery this evening.

Someone brought in a pristine almost all original 1961 Paramount with chrome plated Nervex Pro lugs. Check out the seat lug in the last picture. (photos courtesy of Jon Spangler)
