Very nice East Hill, Congratulations on finally getting that tiny Paramount!
On a side note: Those giant Schwinn stem shifters look positively ridiculous with all those high end parts

Looks like both EH and I are going to go hunting for a pair of Nuovo Record downtube shifters.
Incidentally, are you going to be spec'ing it with the original Weinmann levers and gum hoods? If so, the LBS has a pair of NOS Weinmann levers - drilled models, unfortunately - which have a pair of the all-important hoods mounted on them. Absolutely mint - he'd probably only want $20-25 for the pair - worth it just for the hoods if you wish to use the correct levers on it.
Let me know if you'd like me to pick them up for you for cost of levers and shipping.

Y'know, East Hill, you always said that when you finally found one in your size, it would probably be in mint condition---but I forgot your reasons for that. Sure proved to be right, though!
