Dave:

Great pics.! It's interesting to "compare and contrast" details on my Wastyn with the Paramount. My stem is the same, except the clamp is OEM-looking forged aluminum.

Scott, I do have a few pics. of mine - I'll try and send 'em to you later today. I just got a new computer, so I'm still getting everything "functional."
