>Tom, are you referring to the supposed 1964 on eBay someone outed earlier? In the less than clear photos, it appears to me this one has front and rear brazeon cable housing stops on the bottom side of the top tube, but biased toward the right side, with bare cable between the stops. This was common on early 70's French bikes including Follis and LeJeune, but I've never seen it on Paramount.< Tom Sanders wrote: >I am looking at a Paramount from the early '60s. It seems to have no top tube cable guides, but the cable is biased (somehow) toward the non drive side of the top tube and a hanger by the seat guides the cable...I sure am not familiar with anything like this from the '70s and '80s Paramounts I have owned...is this Kosher for such a bike?<

My '66 Chrome Paramount has front and rear brazeon cable housing stops on the bottom side of the top tube, but biased toward the right side, with bare cable between the stops. Tom, I have the original ebay photos plus a lot of others I've snared for reference, if you still need them, email me.
