Got this a couple days ago and it has an odd mix of campy and Dura Ace. I am wondering what is original and what is not. Also, what year is this bike? The original owner said he only replaced the wheels (I also got the original tubular wheels with it) and nothing else.

Below is only one pict. I am in the process of uploading 10 more picts, but my connection is slow

The serial number should be on the bottom of the bottom bracket shell. That will tell you the month and year of manufacture. It appears to be mid-eighties.

So what on the bike is original and what is not? I like the blue brake set and levers, but would it have come on the bike or was it put on much later?

They were sold as framesets only, so they were built to the buyer/customer's spec.

JunkYardBike is right; Paramounts of that period were sold as framesets only. Typically, customers specified the components and the dealers built up the framesets to the customers' specs.

Alternatively, customers could purchase the frameset only and build it up themselves.

Nice ride. I want those brakes so bad. Lol. I don't even know what I'd do with them.

Umm...I have checked, rechecked, and double checked and there is no serial numer on the BB anywhere?

Nevermind, I just needed a spot light to see it.
