Not brakes, but aren't the black anodized pedali superleggeri incorrect for a '70 Paramount? Seems an odd detail to have got wrong on an otherwise admirably correct looking bike if that's the case.

Kurt:

Whoa, no, look again. Talk about your super-authentic pedals! The SLs were first shown in a supplemental catalog in 1970, IIRC. I have heard tale that the very early version had a flat alloy cage, without the bulged reinforcement around the openings on the rear. I have never seen a set like that, before today. Looking closely at this Paramount, they do exist. Cool.
