Vintage Urago

Submitted by Trouter300 on 12/18/2008.

I currently have one of these in my garage. I picked it up at a resale shop in Colorado. It has a little rust, but looks very nice. Were these originally fixed gears?? I bought it because it was a fixie and the saddle was worth more than I paid. Not sure where to go with it though??? Keep it, refurbish it, etc. or sell it. If I repaint, can I get new decals? Nice to see one in great shape.

"Nice" bike!

Submitted by ryan on 12/08/2007.

my current project is a Urago. I am having trouble getting that Pivo stem off though. I don't know if it is locked up or if I am just doing something wrong but I can't free it from the headset.
Just as a background for my bike, what is the serial number on yours? I am trying to figure out if it mine was one of the handmade or one of the cheap massed line. I am guessing the latter.

It was from a friend of mine that I use to live with .
He was moving and so I got it . The woman's name is
Lydia Cornell and it's from the 80's tv show called
"To Close for Comfort" .

Headset ?

Submitted by Beeceecleta on 11/15/2006.

mmmmm, not sure what kind of headset it is . but it does have some locking pattern on it . it's like up and down zig zag if that helps .

maybe, maybe not

Submitted by cicadashell on 11/16/2006.

sounds like you are describing the stronglight competition headset. but if it doesn't say "stronglight" it's probably a knockoff. the bike is still a total find.

Submitted by Beeceecleta on 11/14/2006.

Urago is bike company that came out of Nice, France .
Not the most known bike company but they made Nice bikes
literally . Ok, enough of that . Not that much info on
the web for Uragos.
