I knew there was a reason I hated FLICKR. Several people were unable to access the phots. I've now moved them to Wool Jersey:

\r?\n> Attached are a couple of photos of an
\r?\n> "Elite Series" Paramount along with the decal set used:

\r?\n>
\r?\n> According to the history on the Waterford site, the Elite
\r?\n> Series was built from 1980 through 1983, thus fitting just
\r?\n> within the CR timeline. This was the first Paramount
\r?\n> series built under the supervision of Marc Muller, after
\r?\n> production shifted from Chicago to Waterford.
\r?\n>
\r?\n> The history says "Marc got approval to begin using Columbus
\r?\n> SL and SP tubing." But this bike shows what looks like
\r?\n> a Reynolds 531 decal on the seattube. Perhaps only
\r?\n> some Elite Paramounts used Columbus.
\r?\n>
\r?\n> Anyone have a 1980-1983 "Elite Series" Paramount?
\r?\n> What is the tubing? Where is the decal placed? I
\r?\n> have a frame like this (except blue) with only some decals
\r?\n> present. BTW, the seattube panel decal is, AFAIK, much
\r?\n> older than the decal set typically used on this model.
\r?\n> Perhaps this was a custom order or someone just obtained and
\r?\n> applied the older single decal.
