Thank you! Great to have stories like these made available on the interwebs for future generations.

Urago is still a well-respected brand, certainly in France. I made this picture of three vélos randoneuses in Saumur a couple of years ago. Two Alex Singer examples and a Urago:

Relatively hard to find (in good condition) in France, the head badges are real Collectors pieces. I've got two, and a 3 speed Urago from the 50s with a seat stay mount Simplex gear lever. Not suicide, but damn as near it
The head badge is Francois Urago, a well known 'stayer' of the era.
