Imagine an amateur racer who has a perfectly good race bike but happens to be on a team which is sponsored by Schwinn?

I have acquired a Urago frame (no forks) with Paramount decals applied. The decals look the age of the bike (1950's) and appear professionally applied. I believe there was a link to Urago by Schwinn through the Racer Magnani. Does anyone have any information on a possible Urago Schwinn connection. I have been warned that this could have been an effort by a Paramount owner wannabe. There is no head badge but existing holes do not match a Paramount badge. The drop outs are Simplex and there is Stronglight Crankset. Any comments would be greatly appreciated. Ron Tandy, Westminster, California, (tmyden@aol.com)
