I agree that the chrome on the BB looks very dull, certainly nothing like my 1972 P-15. Also note that the saddle does not look stock. At least it does not look like a Brooks Professional. It does have those lovely suicide brake levers, and those were stock!

I have 4 NOS Paramounts, '71, (3)-'72's and a '79. All came with Schwinn HP tires originally. A note on the bike in the add; The chrome in the bottom b racket area sure looks suspect, either the polisher was asleep that day or t here has been some hard cleaning by the dull looks of it.

Did these really come stock with those Dunlop tires?
