>From the 1975 Paramount catalogue, the P15-9 deluxe tourer used a 36-46-54 Campy triple. I have a slightly earlier model with an after-market 32, but the bolt circle is odd and there aren't many out there.

The front derailleur was Campy Record, with a "GT-300" = Shimano Crane in back.

Dave Clementson asked: Hi all: I read in the Archives that certain versions of the Paramount ca= me equipped with 52-??-36 Campy triples. Can anyone tell me what front d= erailleur was originally used with that setup?

I ask because I'm looking for something appropriate to the Hetchins I'm b= uilding up with a Campy 52-46-36 triple crankset. This bike will be a "r= ider," so superior performance wins over period correctness.

Thanks in advance for any info!
