Dave:

In reading your message I find one minor problem with your Paramount. Last Saturday, after receiving my P15, I began looking through my collection of Schwinn catalogs because my Paramount's previous owner told me he had replaced the rear Campagnolo Gran Tourissimo (GT) derailleur with the Nouvo Record rear der. that is currently on it (dated '81 - my P15 is a '72). What I found was that Schwinn listed the Gran Tourissimo for '71, '72 & '73 on the P15. The Shimano (GT300 Le Tour) der. came out in '74. I realize that the Shimano, and even my NR rear der. both work better than the GT, but since I have a good Campy Gran Tourissimo I intend to change my P15 back to correct original equipment, which also means replacing the Campy side-pulls with Weinmann center-pulls after I re-paint and replace the decals.
