> I wrote earlier today about a very nice Schwinn Paramount track bike with what looks Nervex Pro lugs. When I and at a freind looked at it, we thought it might be 1940s, but as I'm a novice about Paramounts our guess of vintage was way off possibly. Bill Curtis wrote stating he thought Nervex Pro started in latter 1950s. Out of curiousity and in help in dating the Paramount, does anybody know the approximate timeline of these lugs.

I was perusing Bob's Flying Scot site and it looks like the earliest use of Nervex Pro on a Scot was 1952.
