I raced a Colnago in the day. Had a '73 Paramount also. Always preferred the Para for long rides. Sold the Colnago after a chainstay cracked to a collector. Sold the Para thinking I was done with road bikes. Finally coming back to them. Bought a Surly Cross Check. Steel. Classic geometry. Feels very similar to the Paramount, but new, with modern components. A vintage Paramount showed up locally on CL. Really thought about it. It won't be better. Decided I'm good.....
