I shot a few photos of an interesting recent acquisition and thought I'd share. The frameset of this build once belonged to a Schwinn national team member and Olympian, and looks like it has served a very useful life. Photos can be viewed here:

Oddly, although it's a Raleigh it satisfies my needs for a Paramount! Many thanks to Mark Owens for generously donating his Paramount head badge to this bike, as it was the final piece I needed.
