Interesting dealer decal.

I was cleaning and going over a 1970 Raleigh Twenty I bought 5 or more years ago. In the process I noticed this dealer sticker. It would probably be more correct on a Paramount. I assume that Wastyn like anyone else was selling anything they could in those days. Click on it to enlarge. Roger

Please explain further. Why would it be more correct on a Paramount? What is Wastyn? What was the situation back then such that they'd be selling whatever they could?

They're still selling today. Schwinn and Raleigh, among others. A nice little piece of cycling history right here in Chicago.

I picked up a brand new Wastyn's decal 3 years ago for my Frejus, bought there new in '66.
It looks now like it did then.
Wastyn's made the early Paramounts for Schwinn. Someone else will have more info.

Single down tube with double braces between the BB and down tube. Roger
