Ken, et al, Hope my response isn't to late, with a day left in the auction (if the auction ending is in fact important to the conversation anyway). I have posted in the past about my "72" Chrome Paramount, only to find out from a CR member more astute than I, that it is actually a 1967. So, my 1967 fully chromed Paramount Tourer has Nervex lugs ... and bottom bracket ... and the remains of red pinstriping around the fork crown only. No trace of red on the frame itself. I have been told that the frame chrome is far superior to most of that age, I subsequently noticed that the fork chrome does not look as pristine, so I suspect the frame only may have been properly polished or redone; hence the loss of red from the frame only. That's my load!
Best regards, Mark Agree (now happily moved to...) Southfield MI
