Forgive me for intruding on your thread, gentlemen, if you recognize that I'm not a Schwinn guy. But when I was researching my 1959 Allegro Special I came across the following anecdote that seemed to fit the chronology well:
Any thoughts? The Allegro, with its chromed Nervex lugs, Weinmann center pull brakes, campy gears and hubs, certainly looks a lot like a Paramount. But the story sounds a bit like a story, somehow.
Hmmmmmmmm.
Maybe [MENTION=38510]Scooper[/MENTION] or [MENTION=226065]Metacortex[/MENTION] could shed some light on this?
Rudi, thanks for posting this.
