Jon, I have two 1973 Paramounts...one road tourer, and the other a track bike. Both bikes have just the world colors decals on the seat tube.
Also, I like to ask the group for some rating of a sweet tandem I found. It is a Cuevas, made in about 1982, 531 tubing, stainless lugs, full period Campy N.R., sort of light blue grey color. This bike is beautiful, in excellent condition, and was said to have been used in a big name product advertisement when it was new (more info on that when I see the owner again). At some point, the current owner contacted the builder, who was then retired and in his 80s. He only was able to speak with the son of the builder, who remembered helping his dad with the project! The son confirmed that it was a rare item for them, but I can't remember how many were built (less than 5). According to Sheldon Brown's pricing guide, the builder has since passed away, but his son continues to operate. Any ideas as to the value, and/or quality of this item? Even though I drool at the bike, I'm not sure if I have the space to keep a tandem or not. So, I might be passing the opportunity of purchase on if there is interest. Any help is appreciated.
Best regards,
