By the way, I note that for most of the 60's there were two different road racing Paramount models, the P12 and the P13, the latter often called Deluxe Road Racer. Price difference was usually about $50. But it is not clear what the differences were between the two. Does anyone know how specifications differed between these two models? ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ In the early 60s, Stronglight Competition steel cottered cranks were the base Paramount, Campagnolo were a $25 option (maybe $125 in today's dollars, the base bike was "just" $200). Maybe the difference led to two model numbers, but I'm just speculating.
