Hi, Chip---
I was EXACTLY in your shoes three or so years ago, when I picked up a 1960 Ideor Asso Olimpic as my first back-into-the-vintage-bike-scene cycle. They're a short-lived ('50s-early '60s) marque which sponsored a European race team. They produced a range of five or so racing bikes (plus city bikes), most racers built with Columbus tubing. Lower models used Mannesmann tubing. Very decent machines.

Enter the term "Ideor" in the CR Archive search engine and you'll find my original posts and the MANY helpful responses I received from the great CR folks. I've got a few photos of mine I'll try to dig up for you.
Happy hunting!
