My 70 touring model has the brazeon cable guides. Actually, I have a 71, 72, and 73 as well as the 70. I'll try to get photos of all four posted on Wool Jersey. This might show the progression of details in the early 70's.
BTW, since it seems I'll be building new wheels for the Sam Fitzsimmons 71, what tubular rims would be correct? My 72 has Mavic Championnat Du Monde, but I think there were several other rims used on early 70's Paramounts.

\r?\n> Jerry and all,
\r?\n>
\r?\n> Love the old chrome Paramounts. I have a '71 and
\r?\n> it's interesting to note similarities and differences
\r?\n> between your bike. Mine also has the same 531 sticker on the
\r?\n> seat tube. It had the small campy one as well, but a
\r?\n> misplaced pump took care of that. Interesting differences to
\r?\n> me are the fact that yours has clip-on brake cable guides
\r?\n> whereas my earlier 71 has braze-ons on the bottom of the top
\r?\n> tube. I would have thought that the braze-ons would
\r?\n> have appeared later...or were clamp-ons on the racing model
\r?\n> and braze-ons on the touring? Also, it appears the red
\r?\n> lug lining disappeared after 71...anyone confirm? Anyway
\r?\n> beautiful bike.

\r?\n> Here's a few pics of mine. It's been altered so
\r?\n> purists be warned...currently sports modern brake levers,
\r?\n> nitto bars and stems, and I had the Campy crank changed to a
\r?\n> much lower geared TA half-step/granny triple. It's a
\r?\n> rider though so I don't feel too bad; fenders coming before
\r?\n> rainy seasons hits...wait, that's today!
