I recently purchased what I believe is a 1981-1983 Waterford Paramount frameset. It has the gold "Schwinn" downtube decal from the "elite" decal set of the era as described on the Waterford site, the corresponding seattube PDG decal, and a metal Paramount headbadge, but no toptube decals. The lugs seem to match the site's description of the Henry James lugs. I've contacted Waterford, but the frame has only two numbers on the BB and Waterford are reluctant to date it or even confirm it is a Paramount without a complete serial #. I appreciate their position, but I would be happy with simply a very good guess as to the year. Does anyone have good pics of an original or accurately restored 1981-1983 Paramount I can compare it to?
