OK, I need help! Those of you who I had the pleasure to meet at the C.R. Sunday ride or perhaps have stumbled across my intro on the list know that I am the sorry SOB with the '65 Paramount frame (V36) under my arm. Just the bare frame, no fork, no headset or bottom bracket and very little clue what should be on it component-wise. A call to Richard at Waterford brought a providence letter saying that it was shipped as a P-13 so that cleared up some of my questions regarding components. As I understand it would have come Campy equipped in the drive line department, Normandy hubs, Weinmann rims and brakes, and a Brooks saddle with requisite Campy post and headset. As of this moment I am not sure I want to go completely original, I mean what are the chances of finding a correct fork without having another 60cm Paramount frame attached? So perhaps more towards period correct "Hot-Rodded" if there is such a thing?
So plumb me up about what should be standard equipment and any ideas towards the hot-rod program are limited only by the imagination and great expertise from the members of this forum! All replies will be greatly appreciated and considered, if not followed....
PS anyone have a Nervex fork crown and 531 blades in their pocket?
