PICTURE Statement from seller Bicycledreamer:

"When I purchased this bike most of the original group was gone or what was intact did not do the bike justice. One key part that was intact was the very rare, early domed Campagnolo headset. A couple years ago I came across a near mint - near NOS early '62 Paramount, but it was a very small frame and since this '61 chrome was more deserving the group made its way to this bike. The parts are all correct for a '61 save for the front derailleur and non-lipped second edition Campagnolo crankset."
