I don't know anything about Paramount tandems, but I am struck by the lugless construction, the clamp-on seat post collars, and the Varsity-like seatstay to seat tube treatment. The bike also has a fully sloping fork crown. None of these details conform to my knowledge of Paramount singles. The only things that keep the bike from looking utterly cheap are the Campy parts and the forged dropouts.
Is it really a Paramount?

Hi, All---
Theft and fencing known stolen goods is a serious charge, and something at this point we cannot prove. But...
Who the heck a) rattle cans a Paramount... b)without taking off the components!!!??? A doubly unpardonable sin. Clearly, no matter what the status of the bike, that graffiti artist is going to bicycle Hades when he dies.
