Hello listers!

A few questions that I have about my '65 Paramount, to wit:

Having found a fork (Thank you Lee!) I need a head set, if I am correct that a Campagnolo Nuovo Record with the <C> marking should be installed?

How do I determine what axle is needed for the BB, assuming again that a Campy NR is the correct choice?

Realizing that the wood-filled Weinmann tubular rims are not to be found, what might be a reasonable replacement?

Stem and bars.Cinelli? Gotta' have something to put the Weinmann brake levers and Campy bar-ends on.

All this is predicated on the idea that this is not to be a "Period Correct" build, more like what someone like me that just can't leave well enough alone would have done over time with a slightly heavy "SAAM" but Schwinn Approved pushbike.

A question for the Campagnolo cognoscenti, is this such a late NR that it has no "Patent XX" date or a very early one?

Any and all suggestions will be welcomed, if not followed!
