Auchen, I am curious if you or others know if the Paragon / Aristocrat / Utopian were built in Allentown or overseas? I see your frame has a Ross Allentown head badge. My Utopian head badge does not include "Allentown" but I am led to believe they are all the same Ishiwata 024 frameset. I understood from other posts these were from 83-84, anyone have any certainty? Wanted to understand the history and whether this frame was truly made in my back yard in PA.
