Indeed... I am the winning bidder. You don't see these for sale often, especially in small frames, so I decided I'd rather pay a little too much than miss out, There have been too many times I've been the immediate underbidder on a hard to find item and wished I would have bid higher. I'm also buying this for myself rather than for resale. Even though it's a smallish frame, I'm hoping it's no larger than 53 cm.

A few cool entries locally for a change. Also a Panasonic DX 4000, a few Trek graceless, an Ironman, a Bianchi Veloce and a Peugeot Versailles.

>> I’m not sure I buy the Mel Pinto connection.
I hear what you're saying but that PINTO decal would be quite the obscure stretch for someone to fake... It's a $100 bicycle, asking price...

Okay, what's creepier, the "decided to go different route" comment, or the fact that the lid is ever-so-slightly open?

Mel imported lots of entry level bikes during the bike boom days, including mixtes. I even bought and resold a "mid-size" mixte with 550-A wheel/tire size. They all had cottered cranks and low-end Simplex (early) or Suntour (later) components. All the original frames that Mel brought in and branded were sold under the Pinto name. Strangely enough, the first bike-shop-bike I ever bought was a Pinto from Mel's bike shop in DC called The Pro Shop. Most of the singles were actually rebranded Uragos. The tandems were made by Follis or Lejune I believe. According to Mel, he later got a cease-and-desist letter from Ford's lawyers saying he could not use the Pinto name, so Mel changed the branding to Mel Pinto or Mel Pinto Special.
But the short answer to your question is yes, that bike was almost certainly out of Mel's warehouse, and made by Urago.
