I understand where you are coming from Peter, but the above just isn't true. It was easy to get Campagnolo small parts all across the US years ago for one reason (and only one reason) and that would be because most Schwinn dealers had the Campagnolo small parts cabinets on their counters because the Paramount was spec'd with Campagnolo parts.
