I have to come out of my hiding place for a few minutes here. While I'm not an expert nor particularily a fan of Paramounts, I've seen the bike in question a couple of times, touched the lugs and fondled the brakes. It's a very clean, unmarked bicycle with all of the nice extras already discussed. I am a little stunned by the price, but the market has just valued it. Incidentally, a trip into John's basement is truly a religious experience. There are 20+ bicycles, all special in their own way, plus boxes and boxes of stuff that just make me weak.
