This bike is a P-15 Paramount, which was a touring model and came originally with a Campy triple crankset with 14-31 rear sprocket (which is super clunky to ride). Have all original parts in case any purists are worried.

Bottom Bracket

Awesome bike! I'm thinking about getting the campy track crankset from a 1973 Schwinn Paramount P-14. Do you know what kind of bottom bracket would work with those, my frame takes a 68mm english threaded?

glad you saved the original parts

One suggestion: Know you're in California, but you might consider putting a short, correctly threaded, and well-greased bolt into the derailleur hanger. Would just hate for you to get some rust going down there.
