Paramount ATB Geometry?
Found a used 92 Paramount series 30. Cheap replacement wheels on it. Price is 450. I think that is high by a couple hundred at least.
Before I make an offer I need to know frame angles. I can measure tube lengths, but not head and seat angles. Can't seem to find any geometry specs on it anywhere I have looked.
Can anyone help me out?

1992 Series 30 (19" frame size): HTA=71°, STA=73°. It doesn't give the angles for the other sizes.

$450 is silly high for that bike, and this from a guy that likes 1992 series Paramounts! Lets see, in the family fleet I have a series 5, a series 7, and a series 9C road bike, and a series 70 mtb. All 1992s. I paid $80 plus reasonable shipping (~$30) for the series 70 frameset and headset off ebay in the last six months, and it was in a relatively hard to find XS size (15 inch, for my wife). I considered it a reasonable deal, but only since I had a pile of parts in hand. I only need to find a series 90 mtb, and this craziness should be done.
Please note, other than the headset, nothing on this bike is original.

One thing I like about the series 70 is the paint scheme is really similar to my series 7.
