This is a 1969, or possibly 1970 Cinelli Mod. SC road bike, (restored). This is perhaps the earliest year that has the 3-holes in the headlugs. It came originally with only one set of world champion stripes. Note: Campy 1010 dropouts with eyelets, fender braze-on fitting in the rear brake bridge, Clement Criterium Seta tires, Fiamme yellow label rims, and early Brooks Professional saddle. This was owned and raced by one of the sons of Carl Krippendorf of Milwaukee.

This Paramount was built up by the original owner, Murphy Little in Charlotte, NC with Campagnolo and Cinelli parts that were extensively milled down to save weight and add beauty. This pantographing was very nicely done, and must have taken  a great deal of time. The rear der is marked , "PAT 70", and the brake levers and calipers are the earliest type so presumably this bike is from either 1969, or 1970. The serial number was not stamped on the left rear dropout. 

On the rear der, note how the drilling in the jockey cages doesn't go all the way through- this was some precise drilling.

Note the special alloy hardware on the stem that must be custom made- the quill expander/cone is alloy, and does not allow the quill bolt to protrude at the bottom. The allen screw is steel and the spacer at the top is the same alloy as the extended cone thing. The milling is very deep on the stem.

Mark B. believes that the seatpost hardware is from a Lambert. 1/26/06 I have confirmed that this is correct.

The bottom bracket uses a Teledyne Titan titanium spindle along with Campagnolo Nuovo Record cups and some gold anodized aftermarket alloy crank bolts.

The brake calipers are highly modified, (hot-rodded) first generation Campagnolo without any words on the caliper arms. Note that the milling on these arms have neat radiused shapes. Usually, machined milling has sharp transitions from start to finish. Study the pictures carefully and you will see that milling was done in every available area, including the backs of the arms!  Also note that all anodizing has been removed and the arms show a high polish.
