French bike posing as a Schwinn Paramount?
This came up locally and is listed as a Paramount but I think it is more like a Peugeot PX something or other with a replacement fork. Has Huret rear dropouts. Seller says serial number is G79## Any ideas?

Doesn't look like any Paramount I've seen, and the Huret dropouts make it almost certainly not a P.
ps - nice bodge on the derailleur hanger!

Thanks, I didn’t even think of a Raleigh, I wasn’t aware that they used Huret dropouts

The Competition used Huret dropouts for the Jubilee rear derailleur and typically had Huret fronts, as well. (Although this was the bike boom and specifications were changeable!)
