In a tangentially yet still slightly related vein there is a Paramount serial # E17 on ebay now. Item number: 110015522827 According to the Waterford site it would be from the end of 1960. The seller claims it has all original equipment including "Alero gold forged crank and Suntour gear levers." I'm going to go out on a limb and assume the stemshifters aren't original. Would it have had dt shifters or barends? Also are the rd & fd Record of that era? I know this is probably basic stuff but I'm just learning about the stuff from when I was 2 years old. Love the color/chromed Nervex lugs and the decal style.

My apologies to those who requested less ebay "outings" today. I understand how you feel but my curiosity won out on this one.
